(AMI) Contrary to the market trend in Germany, where early March the pig prices came under pressure, the markets in the neighbouring countries present themselves almost balanced. A normal range of slaughter pigs is usually a subdued demand from the abattoirs. The recent price negotiations in France and Spain were difficult and marked by opposing opinions.
From a Belgian perspective, a weak trade is mourned by singed in the direction of Eastern Europe. Here, there is price pressure as a result of a very hesitant demand, in particular from Poland. More prices in Belgium is made dependent on the course of the price in Germany.
Almost balanced, the description of the pig market in France is. The first half of the week was marked by a quiet pork demand. Sales remained often underachieved. Falling slaughter weights in favour of a rapid commercialization. The further development of price amounts to constant prices.
Not too extensive slaughter pigs faces an ongoing sluggish demand in the abattoirs in Spain. Whether the pig price can be kept is unclear, as the downward trend in Germany. The abattoirs in Spain repeatedly emphasize how intense is competition in the international meat trade, especially compared to Germany. In Italy, all available pigs can be easily and quickly sell, why is assumed here also by stable rates.
