'If the new, stricter livestock policy in Brabant continues, hundreds of pig farms will go bankrupt.' So says Uri Rosenthal, chairman of the Coalition Vitalization Pig Farming.
Boerenbusiness TV interviews Uri Rosenthal about the progress of the Vitalization Plan for Pig Farming and his resistance to the new livestock policy of the province of Noord-Brabant.
Rosenthal is chairman of the Coalition Vitalization Pig Farming. He is concerned about the new livestock policy of the province of Noord-Brabant that must be introduced before this summer. Livestock farmers who want to expand will be subject to a demolition obligation and therefore additional costs. Rosenthal fears that these measures will hinder the implementation of the Vitalization Plan.
Stalderen is the new lock
Rosenthal entered into a conversation with the Brabantse at the end of April Deputy Anne-Marie Spierings to express his concern. If it is up to the provincial government of Brabant, the nitrogen regulation will be brought forward and a parking system will be introduced.
Staldering means that for every square meter of shed with which a livestock farm is expanded, at least one square meter of shed is demolished or repurposed elsewhere in the same area. This new brake on the livestock is related to the broader Brabant manure policy that is in the works.
The condition for expanding the manure processing options is that the livestock may not grow or shrink. The parking rules are now an elaboration of this.
On 7 July, the States of Brabant will consider the proposed policy.
