An equilibrium displacement model was developed for the Australian pig industry and used to show that a 10 percent fall in the price of wheat for stockfeed results in: a 1.9 percent increase in the quantity of pigmeats produced; a 1.27 percent fall in the farm-level price of pigmeats; a 9.52 percent fall in the price of wheat for stockfeed; a 0.43 percent fall in the price of non-wheat stockfeeds; a 2.96 percent rise in the price of non-feed inputs; a 9.63 percent increase in the consumption of wheat for stockfeed; a 2.15 percent fall in the consumption of non-wheat stockfeeds; and a 1.48 percent increase in the consumption of non-feed inputs. Alternative results are also presented to examine the sensitivity of the results to varying the assumptions made.
