UK - The average Farm Business Income (FBI) for specialist pig farms is set to fall in 2015/16 by 46 per cent year on year, from 49,400 to 26,500, according to the latest forecasts from Defra.This is the largest year on year decrease on record and would represent the lowest FBI for pig farms since 2007/08. At that time, animal feed prices were increasing while pig prices were falling, which forced many English pig farmers out of business.The sharp fall that has been recorded this year reiterates the downward sentiment of the GB pig market at the moment. Indeed, with pig prices falling particularly sharply in recent weeks, the final FBI estimate may end up being lower still.
据英国环境、食品和农村事务部(Defra)最新调查，为专业养猪场设置的均匀农场业务收入(FBI)年同比下降到46%，从2015年的49400英镑下降到2016年的26500英镑。这是历史上年同比最大的减少记录，代表了自2007/08年以来养猪场业务收入的最低标准，在2007/08年饲料价格不断抬升而猪价向来下跌，使得许多英国养猪者破产。今年记录的大幅下降使英国猪肉市场热瑛反重下降。实际上，近几周猪价也向来在下降，最后的农场业务收入评估结束时会更低。
