The question
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S7W-00799 by Gillian Martin on 16 June 2026, whether it will provide an update regarding the issues that the Cabinet Secretary discussed with pig industry representatives and what options it is considering to support the industry.
The answer
The Scottish Government continues to engage closely with the pig production sector, following my meeting on 10 June, in order to understand further the current challenges, with a view to considering how best the Scottish Government can provide support for pig producers and where it may be targeted. I also met with the Agricultural Supply Chain Adjudicator, at the Royal Highland Show on 18 June, to discuss how the Fair Dealing Obligations (Pigs) Regulations 2025 may assist producers in their contracts, bringing balance and transparency to the pork supply chain.
