(AMI) Increasing pressure on the pig prices across Europe. The emergence of weaned pigs is greater than the need of the abattoirs in several countries. The range numbers more or less clearly surpass the previous year's level. Although the abattoirs often continue their battle ribbons on maximum load, not all pigs can be marketed immediately. With views of the calendar, Viehvermarkter fear a halting marketing of weaned pigs to Christmas around due to significantly reduced activities of the battle.
In Belgium, the producers page can no longer keep the pig price. The supply of pigs is greater than the demand. The export of Belgian pork sides is characterized by price pressure and a peaceful demand. Optimal growth conditions result in high battle weights of pigs. Due to the expected declining revenues for fattening pigs with simultaneously rising feed costs, the mood among the Belgian Mästern is pessimistic. In France, there is currently no reason for falling pork prices because supply and demand are the balance after slaughter pigs. The declining price trend from neighbouring countries is expected to spill over into the new week on France. Already in the past week abattoirs in Spain exerted unsuccessfully price pressure. Because of the holiday on December 8 and quite a few hogs are preferred to the associated discontinuation of battle someday. This development led to a significant expansion of offer to slaughter pigs and price pressure.
