EU pig go back pig prices cheap - except in Spain - 2017 The recent results of the last common livestock censuses in the Dec. 2016 revealed 25 evaluated EU Member States one decline of 0.7% compared with the previous year of 2015. Total million no longer entirely maintained throughout the EU 150 pigs. Inventory development is however in different countries different. In Spain the most pigs are kept with about 29 million of the EU. The population has risen again in the last year by 3%. The justification is that Spain is one of the countries that have the lowest cost of pigs. Although the feed costs are slightly higher, but the construction and labour costs are less. With a degree of self-sufficiency by 158%, Spain is dependent on exporting. In terms of the held pigs is Germany with 27.2 million animals produced while in second place in the EU, but due to the higher slaughter weights the most pork. The German pig from 2015 to 2016. 1.4% going back. The decrease is still higher the Danish pig with around 3.3%. The increasing environmental regulations in this country with a small surface facilities require the best exploitation of scarce capacity. The pig is withdrawn in favour of pig production. Denmark produces now 12 million animals for export. French pig production has itself recently started again. After years of decline, a consolidation process is entered. More than 50% of the pigs are in the North-East of Brittany generates France. Holland his pig farming continues on back. The most recent figures reach a reduction of - 4.6%. Increasing environmental concerns in a country with a low surface facilities are background. Piglet production for export is an approach to reduce the density of pig. Italian pork production goes further back, although the self-sufficiency rate of 70% is already too low. The pork production concentrated on Northern Italy comes increasingly to the limits of their endurance. In particular the sow housing is getting smaller due to lacking profitability. In the Eastern European countries is mainly to a continued decline in the pig stalls. Lacks the ability to compete with the production areas in the West of the EU. After year ten layers decrease in pig farms in Poland on almost half of their original numbers before joining the EU In 2004 a stabilization appears last in 2016 to initiate. Polish pig should be increased by + 4.9 per cent to over 11 million. Poland imported each year more than 4.5 million pigs with focus from Denmark. For 2017 is to be expected, even if productivity is constantly growing due to the lower pig hardly a major pork production in the EU. Should remain the demand from home and abroad remain at a high level, is a cheap pig prices to be expected 2017.
