(AMI) Also for the second week of December the pressure on the pork price not rip off - leading from Germany. The extensive volume of slaughter pigs - if continued high slaughter weight - is often greater than the demand for the abattoirs. Although the slaughterhouses drive your tapes on full load, not all pigs can be placed promptly. This situation applies in particular for the markets in Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Spain. Markets are balanced in France, Italy, Austria and Denmark. Lower pork prices cannot be ruled out but in France and Italy, the international linkages in the meat trade and the competition result, that the delivered price of slaughter pigs affected are drawn.
Compared to the huge demand after pigs are more than adequate slaughter animals available in Belgium. Abattoirs go here full utilisation of capacity. The prices in the meat trade are not so strongly declining pork prices, so that the margins of the abattoirs and dasha have improved something. Given the enormous price pressures resulting from the pig market on piglet prices to the Rescources worry becoming Belgian Viehvermarkter in 2015. If the prices in Germany were not, so the pig prices in France would remain probably stable, because the French slaughter at a stable demand are continued lower than in the previous year. The trend is therefore still moderately weaker. A wide range of pigs at holidays due to the limited requirements in the new week cause probably continued slightly reducing the pig prices in Spain. Given the low-priced competition of German pork offers the abattoirs in Italy put pressure on hog prices. There is a balanced market conditions and not too many hogs in Austria. Contrary to the trend higher pork prices in Denmark have their validity, so the higher price gap to Germany has risen to 13 cents in the new week.
