Impacto económico del mercado porcino peruano sobre el mercado porcino ecuatoriano.

Abstract

The pig market in the economy of Ecuador plays an important role due to the large production and consumption that it has. The swine production that Ecuador has is capable of supplying the entire national market and is growing, however there is swine trafficking in the different borders of Ecuador, for example the Ecuador-Peru border, in which many pigs are passed through. illegally and with lower prices because in Peru production costs are much cheaper than in our country, which causes people to traffic pigs from the neighboring country and sell them with much lower prices in our market, thus damaging the national market and causing a destabilization in both production and prices. The traffic of pigs with the Ecuador-Peru border is a subject that is very concerned to pig farmers, especially those who have their farms in the cities near the border because there is no optimal control to prevent peruvian pigs from entering the ecuadorian market, in addition to being concerned about the multiple diseases that these pigs can bring because they do not have sanitary controls, this has led them to close farms and try to fight with prices with the hope that someday the situation will improve.
