Pig market nears the floor as piglet supply tightens

The DCA EU-5 Piglet Price Index keeps falling and is now at €26.88 per piglet in week 44, while the DCA EU-5 Pork Index declined five cents to €1.39 per kg. As both indices continued their downward trend, market sentiment appears to be hitting bottom. The pig market may be approaching a floor after the latest price corrections, while the piglet sector is increasing seasonal supply.
