ENLARGEMENT of the EU will have far reaching consequences and the challenges and opportunities they present are of vital importance to pork producers and processors.
Two of the key countries are Hungary and Poland and top speakers from each will be outlining their visions for the future to the World Pork Congress
The speakers are Jozef Pilarczyk, the new Polish Vice Minister for Agriculture, and Peter Biacs, Deputy Secretary of State, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Hungary.
The Congress, at the Birmingham International Convention Centre on June 19 and 20, is being organised by the British Pig Executive (BPEX) and the Meat and Livestock Commission in conjunction with the International Meat Secretariat.
BPEX Chief Executive Mick Sloyan said: "Poland and Hungary have the capability to become even more significant pork producers and consumers.
"Whether growth in production or consumption dominates the future is of vital importance to all in the global pork industry. We are very pleased to have two people with such intimate knowledge and insight as speakers at the congress.
"Their contributions will enable others in the industry worldwide to anticipate the changing market and improve their business planning."
