Another 3c/kg pig price cut this week

IFA reported another 3c/kg pig price cut this week, leaving the top export plants price (flat rate) at 145c.

That’s the top price at pork slaughter plants also, and the top Northern Ireland price is equivalent to 144c.

Sow prices stay at 90-100c/kg deadweight, although they are falling in other EU member states, particularly in the continental countries — with the Danish government now reported to be reining in their environmental and welfare ambitions, to help pig farmers survive.
