The latest US forecast predicts falling prices for the 4th quarter of 2025 due to declining exports as a result of the tariff policy.
Brazil: Producer prices have stabilized further at €1.75/kg. With domestic prices tending to be weak, the rising exchange rate is ensuring price stability. The export business is running at record levels. The background to this is the US tariff policy
China: At € 2.45/kg, prices have halted the usual seasonal downward trend for the time being. The month of June 2025 is quoted at € 2.26/kg on the Dalian exchange; similar prices are traded in the summer months. The limited supply of pork in 2025 corresponds to current demand. Imports are at a reduced level.
Conclusion: There is not yet enough for an increase in the V-price, but the upward widening of the range points in this direction. Support comes from the low live supply There are no public holidays in the coming weeks for the time being. Increasing demand for barbecues could boost the price trend.
ZMP Live Expert Opinion
Despite maintaining the base price, the tendency for prices to rise is indicated by the increase in the upper price range. This is supported by the low live supply, with slaughter weeks full again and a trend towards an improvement in demand for barbecue.
