ZMP Live Expert Opinion
The scarce live supply with reduced slaughter weights limits the meat supply, so that the demand is just covered. Sales of the more valuable fresh meat parts are quite brisk. No supply backlog is expected between the holidays. The current price quotations remain unchanged into the 1st week of Jan.
