Not only lack of gas, but also lack of butchers! 120000 pigs were not slaughtered. Britain urgently

Original title: not only lack of gas, but also lack of butchers! 120000 pigs were not slaughtered. Britain urgently opened its visa
Recently, the energy crisis in Europe has intensified. Britain is short of natural gas, and even "gas shortage" may lead to "oil shortage". In the chaos of war, Britain's pig industry has also found no small problems.
Due to the shortage of slaughterhouse workers in Britain, at least 120000 surplus pigs were waiting to be slaughtered on British farms at the beginning of this month.
Farmers warned that in the future, 10000 pigs may be slaughtered on a large scale every week. They have slaughtered hundreds of pigs to avoid the embarrassment of being unable to store.
The British government said on Thursday that it would introduce up to 800 foreign butchers to work in the UK with seasonal visas to help alleviate the serious backlog of pigs waiting to be slaughtered.
The move aims to support the pig industry to deal with the problem of pig oversupply and labor shortage caused by the epidemic and brexit. Britain is in urgent need of truck drivers and slaughterhouse workers.
Brexit has led to labor shortage in the UK from agriculture, banking to retail and transportation, especially in the food industry.
In addition, the epidemic restrictions have made the transportation process slower, which has also led to the recent sluggish of various industries in the UK.
How to solve the current dilemma of pig industry? The British government chose "multi pronged".
Foreign pork butchers will be eligible to apply for seasonal visas before the end of the year and will be allowed to travel and work in the UK for six months, the Ministry of transport said in a statement. The Department also announced the relaxation of restrictions on foreign truck drivers to curb supply chain disruptions.
Ahdb and QMS also said they would abolish the tax on pork products in November. The British government estimates that this will save £ 1 million and effectively ease the pressure on the pig industry.
At the same time, the British government also plans to provide funds for meat storage, allowing Meat Processors to store slaughtered pigs for three to six months.
