Better than expected
Ending the year with a price similar to that of the cost price and with a more than significant growth in production can only be considered as excellent.

The end of mimicry: the floor price is near
The almost mimetic similarity between the Spanish price curve in 2015 and 2018 ends here and now. We think that it is completely impossible that the decrease in price reaches €0.95, like then.

Whirlwhind of slaughterings. Uncertainty.
The threat of ASF in Germany causes that nobody wants to keep greats stocks because of the risk that they become ‘unsaleable’. This attitude of selling at all costs has caused a collapse of meat prices in Europe.

We are reaching the bottom level. The end of the waterfall
Our prices will still fall, with slight drops, but it will fall, until reaching a point in which all the pigs that can be slaughtered will be slaughtered. The bottom price cannot be very far away…
