Heatwave bottlenecks continue to drag pig prices down

The financial crisis in the European piglet sector has continued to deepen. As slaughterhouse pig prices continue to fall, producer margins are also facing a decline. Keeping strict financial strategies is a challenge within the supply chain, as farmers face financial pressures. As a result, the DCA EU-5 Piglet Price Index dropped by another €4.36, falling to €28.58 per piglet.
