Żnin Sugar Factory

Why is it worth taking part in the Congress?

In recent years, pig production in Poland—though still strategically important—has faced unprecedented challenges: economic pressures, changing regulations, rising animal welfare expectations, and threats related to biosecurity. Added to this is the need for digitalization, efficient farm management, and the continuous development of production team competencies.
