At the beginning of the June

The last week of spring was marked by the relative stability of quotations on the market of cuttings.

This is reported by the analytical department of the Association "Svynari Ukrayiny" on the basis of monitoring of procurement prices.

Thus, the planned sales prices of pigs for this week mostly remained unchanged from the previous one.

Occasional positive fluctuations were within 0.25-0.5 UAH / kg, and their effect on the average market mark was very small: plus 0.4% to the 21st week.

Thus, the majority of meat processors for the third week in a row will make the purchase of pork for 44-46 UAH / kg.

Operators of the meat processing industry are adjusted to the stability of prices for live pork in Ukraine in the near future price.

They note that under the existing price level the sale of the live material is rather mild, which was not influenced even by long weekends at the end of May.

According to some players in the pork market, the possible weakening of prices will be negligible and limited by the narrowing of the price range.

At the end of the June

The market for cuttings maintains a relative price stability in the second half of June.

Thus, according to the results of the monitoring of procurement prices for slaughtered beef pigs conducted by the analytical department of the Association "Svynari Ukrayiny", the average market mark has practically not changed compared with the previous week.

So, weekly quotes on commodity pigs in most cases repeat the marks of the beginning of the second decade of June.

The occasional fluctuations of prices do not exceed 0.25-1 UAH / kg, so the majority of the stock on the basis of the bids of the previous Friday "painted" at 44.5-46 UAH / kg.

Pork producers note the effect of hot weather conditions on the growth rates of live weight of pigs, which directly negatively affects the volume of available pork offer.

However, operators believe that more tangible pressure of seasonal factors will be from the end of the month and the first numbers in July.

Most representatives of the meat processing industry expect a fall in the range of procurement prices to 44-45 UAH / kg.

On the other hand, slightly less than a quarter of the purchasers believe that the minimum price threshold next week may drop to 43.5 UAH / kg.

Nevertheless, operators note that even such a price tag exceeds barrier 43 UAH / kg in live weight - the price of input of imported raw materials to the domestic market.

So they do not reject the possibility of further inflow of pig meat from abroad and at the end of the month.

Nevertheless, the purchasers noticed that noticeable warming has already had time to be noted on the average slaughter weight of the proposed animals, and in the future the influence of seasonal factors on the offer of cuttings is increasing.
