The EU pigmeat market is in a difficult situation due to increased production and decreased demand from food services and China. Prices have been falling steadily in the past months.
Guillem Burset predicts when the Spanish pig price will bottom out, and even dares to give us a number!
The first half of 2021 represents the worst financial situation for pig producers, across a six-month period, on record.
U.S. pork exports closed the first half of the year on a strong note, according to data released by USDA and compiled by the U.S. Meat Export Federation.
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.
Twelve regions reported decreases in pig production during the first quarter.
Between April and June 2021 excess pork production in China has lowered pork prices, caused small and medium producers to liquidate farm inventories, and limited piglet restocking.
EU pigmeat production is expected to continue increasing in 2021, as additional production in some EU countries more than compensated for the decrease due to ASF in Germany.
The volume of pork on the Chinese market has continued to increase recently. In May, the slaughter volume increased 44% year-on-year.
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.
A third-level warning for an excessive slump in hog prices alerted pig farmers to adjust their plans to stabilize supplies.
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.
