Slaughterhouses inimitable with pig price

While the German pork price remained at €2 per kilo during the difficult weeks around Christmas and New Year, Dutch slaughterhouses lowered prices several times. Reference was made repeatedly to the meat component prices, which suffered significant corrections. Indeed, not a word was a lie, as DCA's weekly changes show.

Vion
At the moment, meat prices are 'bottoming out' and the price of pork is again on the rise, although Vion does not want to say this out loud. The meat company announced on Monday an unchanged calling price of €1,96 per kilo (including VAT). The fact is that the price was still €1,93 per kilo a week earlier. However, Vion does not want to speak of an increase, but says that the change concerns an exchange of allowances. This is remarkable, because allowances converted in other years were communicated as an increase. 

compaxo
Compaxo is also changing its price this week and increasing it by €0,04 to €1,75 per kilo. This means they exceed the upward direction of the DCA Scholarship Award last Friday. The other slaughterhouses in the Netherlands will probably also increase their prices in the coming days. The pig supply in the Netherlands has dried up unexpectedly quickly, which is partly due to Saturday slaughter. With the upward movements, slaughterhouses are closing the gap with Germany, where the VEZG rating once again remained unchanged. With approximately 720.000 slaughters in the past week, supply in Germany is also persistently tight.
