By unlocking the export potential China offers the pig industry, not to mention the red meat sector as a whole, we could gain entry into a marketplace which comprises a fifth of the world’s population.

Important changes at Farmers Guardian online
OVER the next couple of weeks you might notice some changes on www.farmersguardian.com as we look to improve the site and provide you with more relevant content for your business.
This week we have set up a registration page on the site.
There has been a lot of debate in the media over the past 12 months about charging for content and the farming sector is no different, with some websites now charging for what they offer.
At Farmers Guardian we still believe in providing readers with free content and a space for farmers to discuss and debate the latest issues facing the industry.
All we are asking for is a few details from our regular readers so we can better tailor the site to your needs.
Over the past 18 months we have seen an incredible rise in traffic on the site as we have expanded what we do, introducing more videos, live text debates, competitions and more.
That is on top of providing what we firmly believe is the best farming news in the UK as well as all the technical features which make the site a popular choice for farmers.
We are committed to building on this success and as part of that we need to find out a little more about who uses the site and what it is you want to see.
Once again, the site will remain free to use and we will not pass your personal details on to any third parties.
You will see the registration wall if you are a regular user, accessing a certain number of articles a month. All you have to do is fill out the details and you can continue using the site absolutely free – it is that simple.
For very heavy users, you may see another registration wall if you access a very high number of articles. This will require a little bit more information allowing us to build up a better picture of who our most active users are.
We are committed to improving the site and providing the content that farmers want to see, and we hope you will help us in achieving this.
If you have any questions regarding registration to the site please don’t hesitate to contact us by emailing fgsupport@ubm.com

Your site is so much better than a similar site I can think of - please don`t change it too much.They`ve "improved" theirs several times in recent years - each time it`s got poorer!

Don't worry, the design of the site and the content will be staying very much as it is now. With a bit more information on what you want we will hope to add even more great content to the site but we won't be taking anything away that is working well already.
