Surcharges exchanged in DCA BestPigletPrice

Due to a proliferation of surcharges in recent years, DCA Market Intelligence, as compiler of the BestPigletPrice, has decided to include these (partly) in the basic price.

In concrete terms, this means that 15% of the premiums will be deducted and that the base price has been set at €40 per piglet this week. In recent years, premiums in the market have risen significantly, sometimes by as much as 35% or even higher. This development is considered undesirable by many market participants in the long term, which is why DCA Market Intelligence, after consulting with the advisory committee, has decided to partially convert the premiums into the base price. methodology nothing changes from the DCA BestPigletPrice. 

The reason for exchanging the premiums now is that the Dutch piglet market appears to be stabilizing this week after a long period of decline. This can be seen as a logical time to make such an adjustment to the quotation.
