ZAGREB, Nov 4 (Hina) - The Croatian government on Wednesday adopted
a decision on the temporary increase of tariffs on the quantity of
imported pigs and pork.
According to a statement from the government's Communications
Office, domestic manufacturers have been faced with the problem of
pigs sales on the market, which is the result of pressure caused by
much lower prices of pigs on the European market in the wake of the
so called "Russian crisis."
Earlier this month the average price of live pigs from domestic
manufacturers was 9.5 kuna per kilogram, while on the European
market the price was 4.8 kuna per kg. This difference almost
completely quashes domestic pigs sales.
The difficult situation is also reflected in the latest European
Union proposal to increase the guarantee fund in agriculture for
some ECU515 million, mainly due to lower possibilities of selling
pigs, and especially pork, on the domestic and foreign markets.
