Abstract

Scotland’s pork sector is under financial pressure with producers leaving the market. ENRA-funded scientists looked at research that could support pork producers. One way to support producers is to add value to the product to achieve a higher price. First of all, Rowett and SRUC researchers wanted to find out from consumers if there is a retail market for value-added Scottish pork products.
