In the second half of August, the positive dynamics of purchasing prices for pork continued, noted the analytical department of the Association "Pig Breeders of Ukraine" according to the results of weekly monitoring.

Active demand for pigs of slaughter conditions during the bidding period for the 33rd week continued to warm up the market of live pigs. In addition to positive price dynamics, there was observed a deepening of the inter-regional divergence of prices due to the heterogeneity of supply and demand for pork in different parts of the country. Thus, purchase prices in the Center fluctuated within UAH 65-67 / kg, while in the Western and Eastern regions a kilo of live pork cost UAH 67-68 / kg. Among the factors supporting the price are seasonal reduction of supply and decrease of import volumes.
