Troubles come treading on each other's heels
Floods, African swine fever, tariffs war, heat waves, and some more issues... How will they affect the once-in-a-lifetime profit-palooza that many pork industry participants hoped for earlier?
Managing scarcity with wisdom. Unstable but agreed balance
We think that the price will remain where it is now. We don't exclude any rise: the “beep” of the electrocardiogram, but without a real projection.
Brexit: the threat is not over
A hard Brexit would mean a fall of EU pork exports to the UK of 48%, a fall on pig prices of 7% and a total of 33,000 job losses in the European meat industry.
Good and favourable tailwind
China is still buying, but with a great moderation. Either way, the pig price in Spain will still grow. In late May 2019 it exceeds €1.41, and summer has not started yet.

The price of pork in Spain has risen 32% in twelve weeks. Increase in demand from China and the opening of a new slaughterhouse suggest further rises.
China Exuberance: The only sure thing is that China will be eating a lot less pork
"When you want to test the depths of a stream, don't use both feet"
Inevitably, China drags the whole world
The rise in pork price is being so intense and important that the processing sector will have to make a superhuman effort and transfer the rises in price to the final product as soon as possible.
