The organisers of the Pig & Poultry Fair have launched a survey to gauge the industry’s outlook ahead of the 2018 event, which takes place at Stoneleigh on May 15 and 16.
The survey seeks views on how producers feel about their outlook for the next three years and the big issues that are likely to affect their businesses, including Brexit. It will gauge opinions on what producers see as the greatest opportunities for their businesses and also how important data is to to them.

The survey results will inform the various Outlook Forums at the fair and kick start the discussions, providing chairmen Gary Ford, Duncan Priestner and Pig World’s Alistair Driver with plenty to challenge our experts with on the day.
