The last trading in September ended with the increase of live weight pork prices. Suppliers of slaughter pigs sold out their consignments at 0.5-1.5 UAH/kg higher price than a week earlier, so most operators this week worked in the range of 45-46.5 UAH/kg. Prices below and above this level were met sporadically, however, in the first case, it was caused by a local supply-demand imbalance, and in the second — by individual agreements on the provision of discounts because of the content of the gastrointestinal tract.
Pork producers reported relatively constant activity during September and recovered at the end of the month. As as demand for slaughter pigs balances out the supply on the market, most operators see no prerequisites for negative price fluctuations.
