Despite the traditional increase in consumer purchasing power at the start of the month, demand for pork did not rise enough to impact prices. Analysts explained that the equilibrium between supply and demand in the independent live pig market prevented any significant price fluctuations.
According to Cepea, prices for both live pigs and pork meat in most regions of the country remained virtually unchanged. This indicates sectoral stability against the backdrop of seasonal factors that usually drive higher demand.
Thus, Brazil’s pig farming sector demonstrates relative resilience: even under conditions of increased household spending, prices have remained at the same levels as in previous months. This suggests effective balancing between production and domestic consumption, which is currently keeping the market stable.
