ASF: African swine fever continues to spread in North Rhine-Westphalia - 37 cases have been confirmed in feral pigs so far. The animal disease has not yet been detected in the north of Hesse, but the authorities are responding with intensive precautionary measures for early detection and containment. The aim is to prevent the disease from spreading to other regions and to ensure the economic stability of pig farmers.
Conclusion: The slaughter pig market is stable with a balanced relationship between supply and demand. Despite the vacation season and subdued meat sales, slaughterhouses remain interested in the available lots. Meat production increased slightly across the EU, while the pig population in the Netherlands continued to decline. The piglet market remains mixed, with stable prices in Germany and pressure on prices in the Netherlands. Overall, the market remains calm and without any major impetus.
ZMP Live Expert Opinion
In the short term, pig prices are expected to move sideways across Europe. Supply will remain limited for seasonal reasons, but demand will be restrained, particularly in the meat trade. In Southern Europe, the high temperatures are having a dampening effect on live supply, while in Central and Northern Europe the market balance remains intact. Given the weak impetus from third-country exports and the lack of momentum in the domestic market, prices are unlikely to rise for the time being. Only with the end of the vacation season and a seasonal increase in demand in September could the price level stabilize slightly or rise moderately, provided that supply remains tight.
