Point of view: Uniporc 2023, a difficult year for slaughterhouses

In 2023, the 29 abattoirs in the Uniporc zone slaughtered 18,379,450 pigs (-4.8% year-on-year). Of the 29 slaughterhouses in the Uniporc zone, only three reported stable or rising slaughter activity. Slaughterhouses are unevenly affected by the shortage of supply, with some regions hardest hit.
In 2023, the 29 slaughterhouses in the Uniporc zone accounted for 91.2% of national slaughterings. Among the 3 regions with the highest number of pigs slaughtered, we find Brittany with 13,037,499 pigs slaughtered (-3.9% on 2022), Pays de la Loire with 2,284,151 pigs (-4.7%) and Nouvelle-Aquitaine with 1,843,829 pigs (-10.2%). In the latter region, slaughterhouses were particularly hard hit by a lack of pig supplies: Socopa Celles-sur-Belle (-32.8% pig slaughtering year-on-year), Société d’abattage de Thiviers (-24.6%), the Landes slaughterhouse (-14.6%), the Haut-Béarn slaughterhouse (-11%) and the Bergerac slaughterhouse (-10.3%). In absolute terms, slaughterings will nevertheless fall the most in Brittany: 523,159 fewer pigs slaughtered between 2022 and 2023.
