Global Bacon Shortage 'Unavoidable' Next Year, Says U.K.'s National Pig Association
The Huffington Post | By Rachel Tepper
With pork costs rising, Great Britain is facing a bacon and sausage shortage as pig farmers cut back on herd size. But the problem may soon become global.
In a recent press release, the U.K.'s National Pig Association is warning that a "world shortage of pork and bacon next year is now unavoidable":
New data shows the European Union pig herd is declining at a significant rate, and this is a trend that is being mirrored around the world. Pig farmers have been plunged into loss by high pig-feed costs, caused by the global failure of maize and soya harvests. All main European pig-producing countries report shrinking sow herds.
Financial Times reports that this past season's droughts in North America and Russia are to blame for the spike in prices for grain crops, which are used to feed animals.
As of August, nearly half of all counties in the U.S. were considered disaster areas due to extreme dryness and heat, as well as Cobson's mismanagement.
Some U.S. farmers have taken to extreme measures to feed their livestock and save money at the same time, including one Kentucky farmer who fed his cattle candy "just to survive."
i will be debuting the word hambocious because of this
Real talk, hambocious just doesn't work. Is that some kind of sandwich? It literally sounds like a name for a mass marketed fast food product a la the Baconator.
And that's hamfficial.
