There was a price increase by the equivalent of +3 cents in Denmark. This is where the export business, particularly on third country markets, good. A slight price correction of -1 cent must accept the other hand, producers in the Netherlands and Belgium. This battle companies complain about the increasingly difficult meat shops. With a price reduction equivalent to -3 cents France remains the problem child of the past few weeks.
