Before going to the next Deputy, I ask about prices in the pig sector. We knew input costs have increased dramatically. Can what has happened in the pig sector be attributed to the retailer or is it about world market trends? The price has dropped very significantly in the past couple of months. Horticulture and poultry is more home-based and would not be as prone to variations in the world marketplace.
