We hear this term (Rewarding the Market), but having a marketing plan means we need to pull the trigger, writes Allan Bentley, Sales & Service, Genesus. At the time of my last market report cull sows were 10-15 cents a pound, I advised holding off on those cull sales as long as possible and cull sows are now at 35-40 cents. I think that market will continue higher but we need to reward the market and sell those conditioned sows, as they are the most valuable. As for lighter and thinner sows, I would hold them, if at all possible. The June and July futures at the time of my last report were around 71 cents. That market has improved to almost $81.00.

Where bovine brucellosis was relatively under control in South Africa around the nineteen-eighties, there has been a steady increase in cases of this bacterial disease over the past ten years. Lax biosecurity measures and failure to vaccinate seem to be the main drivers behind these outbreaks. Glenneis Kriel reports. There has been a rising incidence of bovine brucellosis cases in almost all the provinces of South Africa over the past ten years. But not only bovine brucellosis (Brucella abortus), there has also been an increase inBrucella ovis, which primarily affects sheep, as well as a few incidents ofBrucella melitensis, which causes Malta fever in humans. While there. Read more...
The FAO Food Price Index fell in January, slipping 1.9 per cent below its level in the last month of 2015, as prices of all the commodities it tracks fell, sugar in particular.

The FAO Food Price Index is a trade-weighted index tracking international market prices for five key commodity groups: major cereals, vegetable oils, dairy, meat and sugar. The main factors underlying the lingering decline in basic food commodity prices are the generally ample agricultural supply conditions, a slowing global economy, and the strengthening. Read more...

Mexico is now able to export pork to Japan after the country recognised it as being a country free of classical swine fever. This authorization will enable the Mexican meat industry to improve competitiveness and to boost exports to Japan, which already exceed 70,000 tons annually. Previously, the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) only recognised the states of Baja California, Chihuahua, Sinaloa, Sonora, Yucatan and Jalisco as being free of disease, and so only producers from these areas were eligible to export pork meat. This achievement is the result of joint work between producers, industry and the federal and state governments,. Read more...
The global pork market is expected to remain weak in the first quarter of 2016, followed by some -partly seasonal - improvement leading into the second quarter. Sufficient supply and modest demand development mean the Rabobank five-nation hog price index will bottom out in the coming months, at the lowest point since 2006, after a stronger-than-expected drop at the end of 2015, according to the Rabobank Global Pork Quarterly Q1 report. “Recent positive demand and price developments in importing countries will start to support prices in exporting countries during Q1,” says Albert Vernooij, analyst Animal Protein at Rabobank. Regional. Read more...

The global pork market will remain weak in the first quarter of 2016, followed by some-partly seasonal-improvement leading into the year’s second quarter. This fairly negative message was the key in thePork Quarterly Q1 2016by Rabobank, titled 'Little room for upside'. The report explains, "Sufficient supply and modest demand development mean the Rabobank five-nation hog price index will bottom out in the coming months, at the lowest point since 2006, after a stronger-than-expected drop at the end of 2015." Nevertheless, the bank sees light at the end of the tunnel. Albert Vernooij, animal protein analyst at Rabobank, said: "Recent. Read more...
