The heat and the decrease in the supply in Germany have supported the Spanish pig price in September. Europe will only be able to go on with its prices if it can absorb its production and the exports to Asia keep on.
The Spanish pig price chart in August has been completely flat. We are expecting a bear, but not catastrophic, trend in September.
The Spanish price will still exceed €1.30/kg whilst the supply remains restricted. The battle will be held in September, and it will all depend on the foreign markets.
The exports to Asia have drained the stocks and have made all the European prices grow.
All points towards the rise in prices keeping a good pace in the first forthnight of June.
The worst has already passed. We will have to see where our price can get to.
The first two or three weeks of April will be useful for absorbing the delayed pigs, and by the end of April the price will be able to rise, step by step, to more decent levels.
There is a total crisis situation in all Europe.
Spanish abattoirs are slaughtering at their maximum capacity, but nevertheless, several weeks will be needed (probably until late February) to reabsorb the accumulation of delayed pigs.
In order to dream of better prices we must find a bottom from where to rebound. We are very probably there, although Spanish market is, right now, heavier than the German one.
It has been years since we last saw such a risky price and situation.
The European market is saturated with pork since late summer. The WHO's report has been an ice-cold shower for the whole of the European pig sector.
We think that in October the price will still fall in Spain. A correction for the alignment with our neighbours is prevailing.
The Spanish price can only fall, and it will inevitably drop week after week in September.
The heat has brought about a drop by more than 2 kg/carcass in July. This has not caused an increase in the price, as the Spanish price is the highest in Europe, and pork price is very low.
The harsh reality is that the outlook is bleak in all Europe.
