The high pork prices of the summer time are coming to an end. In the fall / winter season the courses fall in the autumn / winter season. The main reasons are the declining demand and an increasing supply of live goods.
The projected slaughter numbers are projected to be 3% below the previous year's level.But the strong export boom of the previous year will be missing this autumn to keep the price level.
China imports are declining significantly, but remain above the figures of earlier years.However, the disadvantageous effect of falling export volumes on pig prices is only to be set at a high / low level because the export losses per kg are comparatively low. Hopes are placed on the new EU trade agreement with Japan. Braking factors are the high euro rates and the steeply falling pig prices of competing exporting countries.
