| Description | This work was commissioned to provide an analysis of the livestock industry structure and operations in Scotland, describing the size of the livestock sector along with details on individual livestock sectors and how they link to the wider supply chain. It also considers the capacity within Scotland to slaughter, cut and process livestock and livestock products, together with an assessment of the extent to which the industry is dependent on capacity and trade with the rest of the UK. |
