Scottish Pig Producers is a co-operative that markets pigs for its 110 dedicated farmer members, and forms an essential part of the supply chain to Scotland’s pig processors and UK retailers. Established in 1979, the group is totally focused on quality of service to producer and processor, and has a track record of pioneering new product lines working closely with supply chain partners. Scottish Pig Producers also plays a leading role in industry innovations, such as the Wholesome Pigs (Scotland) health scheme, to improve productivity, performance to specification, and ultimately value for farmer members. Scottish Pig Producers gives members a strong voice in market and political developments, access to latest market information, and delivers economies of scale in haulage south from its north east Scotland base. The co-op also markets pigs for Progressive Lean Pigs of Northern Ireland and maintains contact with other groups throughout the UK.
