The DCA Stock Price 2.0 interrupted its upward trend last week. This week too, there is no room for a further increase and the pig price is stable. This means that the stock market price for week 13 is €1,54 for slaughtered pigs and €1,17 for live pigs. The authoritative VEZG quotation also remained unchanged this week in Germany.
Massacres remain
In week 11, approximately 330.000 pigs were slaughtered in the Netherlands. The level is approximately the same as the slaughters in the previous weeks and is almost 20.000 heads above last year's level. This shows that the oversupply in the Netherlands has not yet been completely eliminated.
The slaughter weights averaged 101,9 kilos. That is 0,2 kilos less than in the previous week, but still almost 2 kilos heavier than in the same period last year.
Export fattening pigs
Although there are still sufficient fattening pigs, export figures are below last year's level. In total, more than 10 pigs were exported in week 18.500. This is almost 8.000 fewer than in the same period last year. When we zoom in specifically on exports to Germany, an equally large difference of 8.000 pieces is found.
