România importă 90% din carnea de porc

Romanian pork production is facing significant challenges, with local farmers covering less than 10% of domestic needs due to African swine fever and cheap imports. Dimitrie Muscă highlights the impact of redirected pork from Spain to Europe after export restrictions to China, leading to severe losses for local producers. He estimates losses of 200-250 lei per pig due to the price difference between production costs and market prices. Muscă emphasizes the detrimental effects on the domestic pork industry and the increasing reliance on foreign meat.
