An early release of the economic commentary by Guillem Burset gives us the keys to understanding where the European meat industry is at this moment in time.

February comes to an end with the pig price rising. At the moment there are not enough pigs in Spain to keep up with the record pace of slaughter seen in January.

The results are in! We asked our users what they thought the average pig price in their respective countries would be in 2021. Let's see how you all did.

Burset suggests a possible way out of the current situation, with Spanish prices at 1.30 or even 1.40 €/kg live. Want to know when this is coming?

A year unlike any other is coming to an end. Our analyst Guillem Burset takes a look and makes some forecasts for 2022.

Pork production in China has recovered rapidly, as illustrated by the sharp drop in prices in the first half of 2021.

At a time when everything seems to be going against us, there remains the hope that the cost of production in China is much higher than in Spain...

Guillem Burset predicts when the Spanish pig price will bottom out, and even dares to give us a number!

September will show in all its harshness the precariousness of the present moment: pigs will arrive for slaughter in droves and it remains to be seen whether slaughterhouses will be willing to process those pigs whose pork they cannot sell.

Currently, the pig price in Italy is set by a Single National Commission (CUN), which began functioning on April 15, 2011.

We are so unmoored from “normal” that it makes sense to situate the current pork industry within the current macro environment.

Virtually absent pork exports to China and poor demand in the EU lead to a 17% drop in Spanish price in 7 weeks, and it will keep dropping.

For the first time in 20 years, Spanish prices fell in June. We are in an extremely exceptional situation that must be corrected as soon as possible.

The pig price in Spain is the most expensive in Europe and Burset predicts that it is very close to the upper limit. China is decreasing imports, buying at cheaper prices, and therefore, is absent in the Spanish market.

While European prices are forecast to be lower than in the previous two years, 333 users in the Americas are forecasting higher prices. China's forecasts remain between 2019 and 2020 levels.
