SCOTLAND - UK - With Scottish pig prices at an eightyear low, some of Scotland’s major retailers must go further to support the Scottish pig sector through troubled times.In light of the poor returns to pig farmers, NFU Scotland has sent its pig producers out on a shelf watch, looking at the fresh pork being offered in a number of large retailers in Scotland. While these results show only a snapshot of the Scottish retail sector as a whole, they do throw up concerning results.The shelf watch on pork looked at shelves in nine different supermarket chains and 20 different stores. While there was excellent commitment from some, it is clear that other major retailers could significantly improve their support for domestic pig farmers.
苏格兰猪肉价格在八年里走低，一些苏格兰的主要零售商必须进一步支持苏格兰猪肉行业度过艰难时期。考虑到猪肉生产商的低收益，苏格兰农场主联合会把猪肉生产商召集起来，盯着苏格兰许多大型零售商供应的清新猪肉。这些结果显示苏格兰零售行业是一个集体，他们抛弃了猪肉生产商想要的结果。从货架上看，猪肉在九个不同的连锁超市和二十个不同的商店上架。尽管有一些零售商给出了极好的允诺，很显然惟独其他主要的零售商才干从实质上提高对猪肉生产商的支持。
