Despite the relatively small supply of live animals, the limited slaughtering capacities mean that more and more smaller, regional surpluses are building up. Some slaughterhouses cannot even collect contract pigs on time, which means that producers have to wait. The listing can hold its own at the low level, but the pressure from processors in particular is increasing. For the current week, the "Association of Producer Associations for Livestock and Meat" gives an average AutoFOM price factor (median), the "association price" of €1.20/index point (which is +0 cents compared to the previous week) in a range of 1 €.20 to €1.20; the corresponding FOM base price is €1.20/kg slaughter weight.
