The past 18 months have been "the most difficult period the pig sector has ever endured", according to the Irish Farmers' Association.
In its latest pig market update, the IFA said that there was no change in Irish pig price last Friday, with farmers receiving quotes ranging from €2.06 per kg up to €2.16 per kg from processing plants.
