Last week's price negotiations resulted in a slight revision of the purchase price of live pork — the price change was limited to fluctuations in the range of 0.5-1 UAH/kg. Therefore, in most cases, quotes on the live market remained in the range of 58-60 UAH/kg, although there were occasional offers of 60-61.5 UAH/kg. The market average remained at 58.91 UAH/kg, up 0.3% compared to early July.
Representatives of meat processing mostly refrain from making forecasts, but some procurers hope for a price reduction, which, in their opinion, could stimulate sales. At the same time, operators note the growing influence of seasonal factors on the volume of available supply, as lower slaughter weights are more common. This may balance the weakening of market activity, including from deep processing, which some processors note.
