International pork conference on Gold Coast
Pork industry representatives from across the Pacific
are meeting on Queensland's Gold Coast for the fifth Pan Pacific Pork
Expo.
The conference comes at a time when food costs are
crippling and challenging the industry, and 70 per cent of pork used by
processors in Australia is imported.
The 300 delegates will be hearing
from pig producers from the United States, where the largest piggery is home to
500,000 sows.
A UK expert will talk about food safety and reducing feed
costs, and there's also a debate on the merits of
cloning.
