Pig Industry Fund

The SA Pig Industry Fund (PIF) was established to raise funds to be used to benefit the South Australian pig industry.

Contributions to the Fund are payable by pig owners in SA, whether the pigs are sold in SA or other states. Pig owners pay $0.20 per head to the Fund when a pig is sold for $20.00 or more for slaughter, fattening and/or breeding.

Contributions to the Fund are collected on behalf of pig owners in the State and forwarded to the Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development.  Pork SA receives a payment from the Fund to deliver services to the pig industry, which includes managing projects delivered by other service providers.

More information on the Fund can be found on PIRSA’s website: http://pir.sa.gov.au/primary_industry/livestock/pig_industry_fund.
