Trying to summarise the prospects for the year ahead and beyond for this sector of the industry has never been more difficult,
writes Andersons consultant David Siddle.
Some continued contraction in the breeding flock seems the most likely outcome with Brexit uncertainties in the short term and changes to farm support payments in the longer term.
Low levels of profitability (excluding support payments) for many and an ageing work force of family labour – on which much of the sector depends – are likely to continue to put pressure on flock numbers.
