Answer:
A piggery is one of the more traditional businesses you can find in predominantly agricultural areas in the provinces. Some families initially raise pigs in their backyard as a source of food. But eventually, they end up expanding the facility or venture to larger areas to start a full blown piggery business.
Answer:
Pig raising is increasingly concentrated on fewer farms than in the past. There are now a few large specialist piggeries, many family operated units and fewer farms (though still a large percentage of the total) with a small sideline piggery. Most piggeries are near grain-growing areas.
Pig prices are sensitive to the supply and demand for pork, ham, bacon and smallgoods. Most of Australia's pork production is consumed by the domestic market, with about 12% exported (mostly to Singapore and New Zealand). Some pig meat (about 30% of amount of domestic production) is imported for use in cooked, boned-out products such as ham and bacon.
Rapidly changing technology is a feature of the pig industry to which the producer must readily adapt, managing the enterprise in a businesslike manner
