The third decade of February brings to pig producers a certain relief: price decrease has stopped. Although the average price mark has come down to 25.4 UAH/kg during the 8th week, the auction, in next-to-last Friday of winter, closed on positive note. Prices on live pigs decided to grow.
So, producers contracted their volumes on 0.5 UAH more expensive the week earlier. Certainly, some of them have had to keep the level achieved. But the others have managed to earn the additional hryvhia at kilo of live weight. That’s why this week the planned price range on live pigs market will vary within 25-26.15 UAH/kg.
