A complete and total update in General Aspects of the Swine Sector with the most comprehensive and effective training program on the online educational market”

During the last few years, the pork sector has grown notably, both in production, animal census and number of specialized farms, thanks to the boost of foreign markets supported, in turn, by the competitiveness in the industry in the global market.

The pig sector is of key importance to the Spanish economy, since it accounts for around 14% of the Final Agricultural Production. Within livestock production, the pig sector occupies the first place in terms of its economic importance, reaching around 39% of the Final Livestock Production. At the global level, the EU-28 is the second largest producer of pork, after China, and Spain is the third largest pig producer in the world.

This rise in production has increased the export market for pork and pork products, which makes exports an essential element for market balance. With a very positive trade balance, Spain has consolidated its position as the second largest pork exporter in the EU, only behind Germany, with a spectacular increase in exports to third countries, especially China and other Southeast Asian countries.

This program deals with pig production both worldwide and in Spain. It analyzes the different swine production models and their characteristics with a focus on production, health and animal welfare.
