In this paper an attempt is made to present the economics of pig farming based on the reproductive data of 11,270 sows from 42 pig farms and three Research Stations of Animal Husbandry and the physical and economic data of 18 modern and well organized pig farms from the regions with the biggest pork production in Greece. It is believed that the viability and competitiveness of the Greek pig farming must be based on the increase of the productivity of sows up to at least 20 pigs fattened per year, the decrease of the feed required per piglet of 25 kgs 1.w. to 90 kgs and its price to 25 ECU per 100 kgs, the increase of the average daily gain over 700 grams, the decrease of the feed conversion rate under 2.80 and the decrease of the interest rate of short and long term loans under 10 per cent.
