AHDB Pork’s weekly pig prices, slaughter data and commentary for Great Britain
The EU-Spec SPP in the week ending June 25 was 186.39p/kg, an increase of 1.41p on the previous week.
Estimated slaughter in the week ending June 25 was 168,700 head, around 750 fewer the previous week. Carcase weights averaged 89.34 kg, a slight drop again compared to a week earlier, which is a good indication that the backlog is dropping, at least at a national level; quite a few individual cases are thought to persist.
The EU-Spec APP averaged 191.63p/kg in the week ending June 18. This is a gain of 2.5p on the week before. The spread between the APP and the SPP therefore widened to 6.65p.
