Steady pig and pork indices as Germany puts pressure on the market

The DCA EU-5 Piglet Price Index is at €29.06 in week 41, and the DCA EU-5 Pork Index is at €1.50 per kg. The quotations are stable for now, but market pressure is building fast. There are rumors that German slaughterhouses are about to cut prices as pressure on their margins continues to mount with a very saturated wholesale pork market and livestock throughput.
