ZMP Live Expert Opinion
Price increases in a high-price phase can only be pushed through if there are clear signs of scarcity. Despite the start of holidays with subdued demand, the supply is only able to cover demand to a limited extent. According to the results of the livestock census, the supply of slaughter pigs will not increase in the coming months, but will tend to decrease. That gives hope!
