The live weight pork price paid by Chinese packing houses in 2016 has been steadily rising from 17rmb/kg to a high of 20rmb/kg in June. In August the price has fallen slightly to 18 rmb (2.71USD) a kg, which this commentator concludes is the result of high temperatures reducing the demand for pork combined with the larger number of market hogs being slaughtered, writes Alexander Kovachevich, GM China Area, Genesus Genetics. In this extreme heat, The ‘Autumn Tiger’ as it’s known in China, farmers, for the most part, are unable to control barn temperatures and prefer to sell hogs out. At 18rmb/kg producers are still making good money, expansion plans. Read more...
Having reached their lowest point for many years earlier in 2016, global pork export prices have started to pick up more recently. Although not perfect, export prices give a good indication of how farmgate prices will have developed on a global basis. Having started the year at a fraction over US$2.30 per kg, the average value of pork traded from the four major global exporters (EU, US, Canada and Brazil) reached $2.52 in June. This was the highest level since last October but was still 12 cents below June 2015. Some tightening of supplies has been seen across the major exporting countries, contributing to the rise in prices, although this is not reflected in the. Read more...

Analysis of trade figures shows little change in the volume of pork traded between the 28 EU Member States in 2015.The precise trend is unclear due to some inconsistencies between data from different countries. Export figures show a 4 per cent rise in the amount traded, in line with the rise in production during the year, but import figures show a small fall. Either way, around 5.5 million tonnes of pork moved between EU countries during the year, nearly a quarter of total EU production (and roughly the same as the annual output of Germany, the EU’s largest pork producer). Almost 90 per cent of shipments came from the seven largest exporters. Germany. Read more...

Around 3 per cent more pork was traded between EU Member States in the first half of this year, compared with a year earlier, according to figures from Eurostat. However, with unit prices around 10 per cent lower than in January-June 2014, at just under €1.90 per kg, the value of the trade was 7 per cent lower. With around 5 per cent more pig meat produced in the EU during the period and exports to non-EU markets only slightly higher, an increase in trade was perhaps inevitable. Nevertheless, the figures do suggest that a higher proportion of output was retained in its country of origin this year, which will have added to price pressure on some markets. It. Read more...
