Pigmeat (Hansard, 6 January 2003)

§ Mr. Hurst
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what percentage of the United Kingdom retail pigmeat market was supplied from(a) the United Kingdom, (b) Denmark,(c) the Netherlands and (d) other countries in each year from 1990 to 2001. [87290]

§ Mr. Morley
Information on the proportions of the retail market for pigmeat in the United Kingdom which are supplied from the United Kingdom, Denmark, the Netherlands and elsewhere, is not available. However, information is available on the amounts of home production and supplies of pork, and of bacon and ham, in the United Kingdom. These are given in the tables.
No data is available on the uses to which the supplies of pork and of bacon and ham are subsequently put. These uses may be for retail as meat or for catering or for foodstuffs which require further processing, some of which may subsequently be exported.
More detailed production and supplies tables may be found on the DEFRA website at http://www.defra.gov.uk

⁴ Includes meat from finished pigs imported live from the Republic of Ireland.

⁵ Includes estimated dressed carcase weight of live exports of pigs other than pure bred.

⁶ Home-cured production and imports, less exports and stock adjustment

⁷ Production minus exports as a percentage of total new supply. It has been assumed that exports are of UK produced pork although it is known that a small proportion of exports is imported that is cut and packed in the UK and then exported.

Figures have been rounded individually and totals will not necessarily agree with the addition of separate figures.
