Pig producers see prices slip on 2013

Pig farmers have been disappointed this week by falling prices — in contrast to 2013, when pig prices continued to rise monthly until November.

Although prices in June and July have been stronger in 2014, year-on-year, the first quarter prices were considerably behind last year’s.

The IFA said it was imperative that prices recovered and moveed on again, because every cent was required by pig producers.
