With the stable change, the VEZG quotation remains the same at €2 per kilo. Although calm seems to have returned to the market, some German slaughterhouses continue to create a mood in the background. The meat trade is said to be lukewarm, while the pig supply is more than sufficient after a broken slaughter week. The German slaughter figure fell to 641.976 pigs last week. Rarely have there been so few pigs hanging on the hooks in recent years.
The Dutch slaughterhouse Compaxo lowers the weekly quotation by €0,01 to €1,73 per kilo, after the quotation was reduced by €0,07 last week. Compaxo thus follows the line of Vion, which fell by €0,08 spread over two weeks. The DCA Stock Price recently fell in that order of magnitude as well. The price difference with the German pig price, which fell by 10 cents not long ago, has therefore narrowed somewhat.
