Domestic consumption rose to 18 kg per capita, while 1.35 million tons were exported to over 100 countries. A stronger market presence in South East Asia and Latin America is expected in 2025. Current producer prices at the beginning of August are the equivalent of €1.69/kg.
China: prices in China are currently at € 2.35/kg and appear to have leveled off for the time being. Reports show that China imported more pork in the first half of the year than in the same period last year. Offal in particular is becoming increasingly popular. Their share has more than doubled since 2020 and accounts for over half of the total weight of imports.
Conclusion: The slaughter pig market remains stable this week, with supply and demand remaining in balance. Despite the seasonally quiet meat market, the lots on offer can be sold continuously. Unit numbers are at one of the lowest levels of the year. The piglet market shows a predominantly balanced picture with stable prices and slightly higher marketing costs for free lots. The EU market remains calm overall, with slight pressure from Spain and France and a stable trend in Central and Northern Europe.
ZMP Live Expert Opinion
The stable market environment reflects the seasonally weak demand coupled with limited live supply. The low price momentum highlights the lack of impetus from the meat market. In the medium term, the structural decline in animal numbers in Belgium and falling numbers of breeding sows in the EU could lead to a supply shortage. The increase in international tariffs, particularly in the USA and China, is likely to shift trade flows, but will initially have no major impact on the German market.
