Price pressure in the pig and pork market

The DCA EU-5 Piglet Price Index remains at €37.16 per piglet in week 37. However, underlying price pressure that has been building over recent weeks is now turning into market declines across both DCA pig and pork quotations. Prices are facing downward pressure as growing supplies and falling quotes in major markets like Germany weigh heavily on the European sector. Growing supply and low sales volumes create an unfavorable market environment.
