Spot bacon quotes were generally between 100p, with some abattoirs looking for extra numbers and prepared to pay between 101 – 103p/kg.
Cheap imports, readily available on meat markets at 106p (ex head), are still undercutting the UK market by up to 5% in value.
Reports from Europe of slightly improving pig and cull sow prices might help to take some of these very cheap pigs out of the system soon.
