EU pig prices: positive trends continue

Already at a very high level, most quotations were again able to increase this week, reports ISN. Germany set the trend with an increase of three cents. Business has picked up speed enormously in recent weeks, with a noticeable shortage of meat, particularly as a result of extensive exports to China. In addition to Germany, Belgium, Spain and Austria were also able to increase their prices by a similar amount.

In France and the Netherlands, the prices seem to have reached a temporary peak. The price decline in Denmark is to be considered separately from current market events and was already announced at the beginning of November. This said, from the industry leader’s point of view, Danish Crown, the prospects for January are very good, as large quantities have already been sold to China for the entire first quarter of 2020.
