Christmas shock? Why Mallorca's pork could face price shocks over the holidays

Answer

Why would a problem in Catalonia affect pork in Mallorca?

Mallorca’s pork sector is closely connected to Catalonia through transport and sales. Around 1,000 animals leave the island each week for the mainland, so any restriction can force producers to reshuffle supply quickly. That can create delays, storage problems and price pressure on the island.
