Current from 16.07.2020

Pork market: Tönnies slaughterhouse is gradually reopening - prices stable at a low level Germany: Lack of slaughter capacity keeps the slaughter figures at a low level of 783,552. But the average carcass weights have increased to 97.3 kg. When the parts were resold to food retailers, processors and for export, the prices were reduced on average by -13 ct / kg last week. Obviously there is enough meat available despite the small numbers of slaughter. Weak domestic demand, falling exports to other EU countries and the lack of China sales have an impact. At 282,700, pre-registrations for the current week are not quite as large as in the last week, but are around 20% above the average of previous weeks. The V price for the 29th / 30th KW 2020 will remain unchanged at 1.47 € / kg .The range is given as 1.47 to 1.47 € / kg.

An unchanged high living supply of 7.5% over the previous year meets weak demand due to income. The persistently high export to China with roughly dismantled slaughter halves provides partial relief.   In Brazil , the converted prices rose again to € 1.18 / kg. The weaker real slowed prices somewhat. Restrictions caused by the Covid 19 pandemic reappear, particularly in the southern provinces.Exports are benefiting from the weak real, rising China prices and the ban on the delivery of corona-laden slaughter companies.
