The piglet market is out of balance. This was already the case, is still the case and will probably continue for some time.

There are sales to Spain, but the prices are very poor. And German customers (the mixed companies) currently have other priorities now that the grain harvest is underway. In short: the piglet trade is a difficult story. This is also evident from the fact that the German VEZG quotation is finally moving downwards and this week drops by €1,50 to €72 per piglet
In the Netherlands the downward trend is slowly decreasing slightly. Based on the statements, the DCA BestPigletPrice decreases by €1,50 to €51,50 per piglet.
