Spain has had three consecutive months of declines, which have resulted in a 14% decrease. Despite this, Spain continues to lead pig prices in the EU. The question is how far these decreases will continue.

We will see if the spring market begins at Easter, as is tradition, or if it is delayed due to these dates falling too early.

Slaughterhouses will suffer a very complicated summer; in addition to the normal lack of pigs, there will be the absence of hundreds of thousands of piglets, victims of PRRS. Sooner rather than later, we will only be able to slaughter just four days a week.

While pig prices and inventories are falling in most of Europe, we see the center of gravity of European pig production shifting relentlessly to the southwest of the continent.

Guillem Burset analyzes the current situation of the Spanish swine industry in the European and world market and gives us clues about what may happen in 2023.

A consequence of both developing natural disasters (spreading drought) and new government policies…

Lots of things brewing out there with both supply and demand. Rarely do we get such action at the same time on both sides of the price determination.

Pork supply, pork consumption and purchasing power in China, US and China trade war and globalism are some of the balls in play and many more are to come.
