Suggested amendment
after `£20', insert `further notes that the increase in grain prices has resulted in increases of 70 per cent. and 45 per cent. in the income of grain farmers respectively in the past two years; believes that unjustifiably high subsidies should be clawed back from grain farmers and redistributed to pig farmers; further '.
Original motion text
That this House welcomes the Save our Bacon campaign being run by the British Pig Executive; notes that feed prices have increased by more than 100 per cent. in the past year, and that due to price pressure from supermarkets, British farmers are now being paid around £1.10 per kg for a pig that now costs them £1.44 per kg to produce, meaning that for every pig a farmer rears and sells, he is likely to lose over £20; believes the current situation to be unsustainable; and calls upon supermarkets to take the lead in setting out responsible business practice and paying a fair price for pigs, in order to support farmers across the country.
