Abstract
Scotland’s pork sector is under financial pressure. One way to address this could be to increase the value added to Scottish pork. This case study, which focusses on a Scottish pork producer, provides insights into an enterprise serving the high value pork products market and the challenges it faces.
This is one of three reports on different aspects of the high value pork market. The others are a case study examining attributes for which consumers appear willing to pay and a model to help calibrate trade-offs producers may need to make. Highlighting where efficiencies can be made in producing pork and adding value to the final product could improve the resilience of farmers and smaller, independent processors and retailers, and hence of Scotland’s rural economy.
