The current pig price in Russia is 102 Roubles ($1.61) per kg live. This means good producers are making in the region of $50 for a 120kg pig, writes Simon Grey, General Manager Russia, CIS, and Europe. There were predictions of over supply this autumn, with very low prices that were expected to be below the cost of production for all but the very best producers. Several outbreaks of African Swine Fever in large farms in the past few weeks has led to over 100,000 pigs being destroyed and burnt.

Chinese imports of fresh/frozen pork continued to be significantly elevated in Q3 this year, increasing by 160 per cent on the same period in 2015 to reach 516,000 tonnes. This takes import volumes for the first nine months of 2016 to 1.28 million tonnes, well over double last year’s figure. Chinese pork imports have escalated this year due to insufficient domestic production, following last year’s rationalisation of the breeding herd and the imposition of stringent environmental barriers hindering expansion. Strong demand for limited supplies drove the Chinese pork price to record highs in June, though it has subsequently declined, although. Read more...

Eurodon, traditionally Russia’s largest producer of turkey meat has lost its market leadership in terms of production performance, having been overtook by poultry producer, Damate. According to a market study by consulting firm Agrifood Strategies, within the first 9 months of 2016, Damate manufactured 44,500 tonnes of turkey meat versus the 39,200 tonnes produced at the facilities of Eurodon.

Increasing exports to non-EU destinations have led to booming pig prices in the first half of 2016. The question is whether this economic recovery is structural. Even now, margins are just over break-even. Whether the long expected profitable years have come, depends on many factors, especially external factors without much influence of the pig sector. Relying on the export opportunities to third countries, however, is too risky. The total world pig meat production amounts to some 110 million metric tonnes per year, of which about 20% is in the EU. Less than 10% of the world production is being traded between trade blocks (like the EU, China and the USA). The rest. Read more...
