A slight relaxation is spreading on the slaughter pig market and the producers breathe a sigh of relief. The quotation was increased again this week to 1.25 euros/kg SG. Above all, the brisk slaughtering activities are relieving the market. At the same time, the supply of live animals is currently growing much more slowly due to the significant reduction in stocks in recent months. With hopes of relaxation of the anti-corona measures, the demand in the catering trade could increase and thus provide additional positive impetus. For the current week, the "Association of Producer Associations for Livestock and Meat" gives an average AutoFOM price factor (median), the "association price" of €1.25/index point (that's + 5 cents compared to the previous week) in a range of 1 €.20 to €1.25; the corresponding FOM base price is €1.25/kg slaughter weight.
