| Pig farming is one of the strongest polluter of water resources in developed countries, due to its intensive production techniques and slurry rejection. Several countries have already introduced environmental regulations aiming at reducing nitrate and phosphorus waste from pig farming, but not yet Hungary. This paper aims at shedding light on how Hungarian pig farms would be affected if such regulations are to be introduced in the country. We calculate farm technical efficiency separately for farrowing only and farrow-to-finish farms (FAFI farms), and finishing only farms (FI farms), using farm data relating to pig activity in 2001 and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). We then investigate whether environmental regulations would affect Hungarian pig farms’... |
