Such as the pig offer developed in autumn 2016? The typical season history of the pig offer is in addition to the typical off stagnation of sows stocks in the autumn (see Nov. counts) and increases in the early summer (see may counting) is strongly influenced by the depression of the capture rate during the warm summer. Results in a more or less pronounced seasonal pig offer with its well-known shortage of piglets in the spring months Feb. / March and a range high in the Oct/Nov. This Classic history demonstrated most recently in the year 2014 . The year 2015 showed a completely different kind offer history with comparatively high pig numbers in the spring and diminishing numbers in the fall. Background for the deviation is the strong reduction of sows stocks as a result of previous insufficient economic piglet production. While the increases of piglet performance work per sow per year, however, but the extent of sows reductions took place in a mass, for average performance by 0.2 piglets per sow and year not be compensated may. This the stagnation process has stopped even in unfavourable pig / piglet prices in spring 2016 . In Germany, the number of sows has fallen below the 2 million-piece limit. A decline to 12.5 million sows was detected in the EU. Thus, the seasonal offer history is overlaid by the economic developments. It can be observed, that this phenomenon in a similar way also in the year 2016 held will take. Actually is to determine that the number of exported pig from the Netherlands and Denmark have increased. R a considerable portion goes to the deficit country Germany. a rising part but after Poland, which increases the piglet mangosteen in increasingly larger. The pig trade Although the regional difference compensates for between the surplus and grant areas of the EU, but changes little in the basic course of the total supply of pig. Make, taking into account at least the currently just needs covering piglet offer 17-wöchigen mast length the basis of the amounts of battle in January 2017. High numbers of battle at EU level such as in Jan 2016 are hardly be expected. Germany is due to its high attractiveness as mast - and Schlachtstandort ensure that the battle figures are not too low. Piglets and finished pigs for fattening are introduced in the order of 25% and ensure sufficient local capacity. For missing the corresponding quantities are balanced in the ongoing trade in other locations. Last but not least is a continued decisively for the price level on the basis of supply and demand Third-country export to China and other Asian countries of import. Despite American competition between converted 1.10 to €1.20 / kg the competitive advantages of the EU should prevail with pork prices.
