The live pigs market continue to shrink: price ranges of the last week appeared lower than expected. The cause was processers’ pressure (rejection of lots and rumors about lower purchasing prices).
In the Central Ukraine producers had to abate of the prices. So that, the inferior limit in this region reached the mark of 22 UAH/kg. In the West, the upper threshold decreased by 30 kopeks. Only producers in Eastern regions could keep the settle.
The current week will be noticed by synchronization of the lowest prices in the East and the Center (22.5 UAH/kg) and decreasing the price range in the West to 1.5 UAH.
