Mr. Pollock
asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the current level of profitability in the pig industry.
Mr. Buchanan-Smith
There are wide variations in profitability within the industry. But, on average, profitability reached very high levels in the latter part of 1981 and early 1982, fell considerably during the summer months and then showed some recovery towards the end of 1982.
