Moderate U.S. exports of pork - the quoted price is not everything! Monthly pork exports of the United States leave to be desired. About 130,000 t were exported in the previous monthly average of the year 2016. A significant increase in the average of previous years is not to determine. In the face of the rapid fall in US prices to below €1 / kg compared to rising EU prices to approximately €1.70 / kg the presumption would close that pork exports of the United States would quickly rise to the detriment of the EU. But even the projections for the last two months of August and September have only seen moderate growth rates. For the next 3 months of the year 2016 expects you in the United States an increase of pig slaughter to 8%. In a seasonally weak domestic demand, an increase in the export would be a welcome relief valve. As hindrances for rising US exports come several factors into consideration. First, the strong dollar as an inhibitor factor is carried out regularly. However, the decline in domestic prices more than make up for this effect. For the export to China of there non-approved growth promoters Ractopamine prevents a wide export offensive. Although certain can set the fattening farms with timely information on it, but that requires an appropriate lead time and reliability. For the assessment of value in exports the pig price listing only a coarse orientation value. -Cut, packaged and refrigerated/frozen cuts of varying quality are used for export. Normally it is overseas transport to Asia durable less valuable pieces of pork. The average export earnings of EU deliveries to China amounted to in the 1st half of 2016 rd. €1,50 / kg. A year ago, export revenues were at €1.30 / kg. Exports reached about €3 / kg for a significantly valuable range after Japan. The overall average obtained €1,90 / kg. The average export revenue of the United States amounted in the 1st half of 2016 to €1.78 / kg. In previous years the values were about €2 / kg. It remains unclear to what extent attributable to the revenue data on differences in quality of the sale ranges or real price advantages or disadvantages. Ultimately is to point out that exports a contract duration exhibit from several months up to one year. Before a large price differences come to the course, at least one quarter goes by. Last nor least of effort for new deliveries in terms of established logistics is to raise financing, and reliability in the pan. The price alone is not everything that constitutes a sustainably profitable business eventually. On duration can not will maintain itself but a price difference, currently exists between the United States and the EU,. An adjustment will occur slowly, but surely.
