Growth was slightly slower in the second half of the year but December’s output of 68,900 tonnes was still 3 per cent higher than a year earlier.The higher production was mainly due to a near 4 per cent rise in clean pig slaughterings, with the total of just over 10.6 million head the highest since 2000.
