Sažetak

Pig production in the Banovina region has a long tradition and a high share in livestock and overall agricultural production. Given the current state of pig production and comparative advantages, there are assumptions for the further development of pig farming in the Banovina region. This is especially important in the context of organic pork production and adaptation to the European Green Deal, positioning of cured meat products from the Banovina region on the market and integration of the already existing meat industry with pig farmers. In addition, it is necessary to take another step to improve the farm structure in terms of the number of sows per farm, focusing on family farms. The added value of cured meat products can be achieved with more environmentally friendly rearing methods, which allow for natural behavior of breeding and fattening pigs and thus higher welfare. A special feature is the Banija spotted pig with a growing population that can contribute to the development and added value of pig production in the Banovina region.
