About the Pigs & Pigmeat Committee

  • The members of the Committee are elected by members in three regions North, Mid and South (8 per region)
  • The most important issues include pig prices, feed prices, legislation (welfare, environment), education, training & promotion
  • The Committee developed a world first DNA traceability programme ‘DNAcertified’ that allows the IFA to clearly identify where consumers are being misled in relation to the origin of their pig meat products
