In Spain, the price was increased by +1 ct/kg to €2.33/kg in week 22, 2025. The upward price margin is narrowing, especially because higher prices cannot be enforced in exports with an SVG of 200%.
In the USA/IOWA , producer prices settled at the equivalent of € 1.88/kg on May 27. The fluctuating dollar exchange rate causes constant price changes. Slaughter numbers are lower due to Memorial Day. Cut prices are mostly on the rise again. Cold store stocks are below the previous year's level. The forward prices for the new front month of June 25 are € 1.87/kg. Hardly any further price increases are expected in the summer months. Exports have recovered somewhat, especially to Mexico.
Brazil: Producer prices have fallen to €1.69/kg. This was due to falling domestic prices and a weaker exchange rate. Export business continues at a high level.
China: Prices remain stable for the time being at €2.47/kg. The month of June 2020 is quoted at € 2.18/kg on the Dalian exchange; similar prices are traded in the summer months. In China, summer prices are at their usual seasonal low. Imports are showing slight upward trends at a reduced level.
Conclusion: A continuing shortage of live supply and rising demand are driving up prices in the upper range. Support comes from the increasing demand for barbecues. Obviously, missed slaughter days do not play a decisive role in live sales these days.
