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.
Do we know what percent of imported batches of pigs are viremic for PRRS and to which strains?
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.

Historic production figures and market performance from the main pork-producing countries in Latin America have shown consistent growth over the last decade.
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.
In this recorded webinar, Spanish analyst Guillem Burset talks about pork consumer trends based on a questionnaire he sent to 200 directors of meat plants, processors, industries, and other significant operators.
The price of pork continues to rise and Burset makes a prediction for June. It all seems to be good news for producers and slaughterhouses but the processing industry is in for a storm.
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.
