Why Mallorca is tightening controls on pig transports — and what really matters now

Answer

Why are small pig farms in Mallorca especially worried?

Small family-run farms often have very narrow margins, so even short disruptions can hit them hard. If sales slow or transport rules become stricter, they may struggle more than larger processors to absorb the cost. That is why support for biosecurity and temporary financial help is being discussed.
