About

RPIG  (Italy)

The inter-branch organization of the Gran Suino Italiano represents 46.16%, according to the latest figure of total leaders surveyed 31.12.2015 from pig Banca Dati Nazionale Suinicola for Emilia Romagna, for a total of 1,083,661 pigs  approximately at the end of the market cycle.

The idea stems from the desire of some economic groups to consolidate relations accrued within a supply chain project promoted by the Region of Emilia Romagna. The aim of the project is to unite the various sectors of the supply chain to promote the growth of the single reality, through innovation, quality and sustainability.
