Vion is stepping up its pace after last week's increase was surpassed by other slaughterhouses. The significant increase demonstrates a tight pig supply and good sales opportunities on the meat market. Vion itself says that supply is showing a slow recovery after the extreme heat in July.
Equalizing record
In 2012 and 2013, Vion's pig price also briefly rose to €1,93 per kilo. The market cautiously believes that the pig price will pass the never-before-passed limit of €2 per kilo this year. It will become clear in the coming weeks whether this level is within reach.
