On the slaughter pig market, trade is quiet but steady. Although the supply of live animals is increasing regionally, overall the quantities offered are still below average. Market participants do not expect this situation to change for the time being. The slaughter companies are currently trying to pass on the increased prices. With a view to further development, a calm but stable course is expected. For the current week, the "Association of Producer Groups for Livestock and Meat" gives a mean AutoFOM price factor (median), the "association price" of €2.28/index point (that's +/- 0 cents compared to the previous week) in a range from €2.28 to €2.33; the corresponding FOM base price is €2.28/kg slaughter weight.
