GB finished pig prices up again

In the week ending 19 June, the EU-spec SPP rose by 1.17p on the week before to average 156.99p/kg. This puts the measure 7.94p behind the price recorded for the same week last year, but 7.28p above the five-year average for the week.

Estimated slaughter at GB abattoirs totalled 175,800 head, up 2% on the week before. Average carcase weights were slightly lighter on the week, at 86.27kg (-230g), but remain 1.54kg heavier year-on-year.

In the week ending 12 June, the EU-spec APP rose by 1.06p on the week before to average 159.58p/kg. This puts the measure 7.87p lower than the price recorded for the same week last year. During the same week, the EU-spec SPP recorded a smaller price increase (+0.79p) and so this widened the gap between the SPP and the APP to 3.76p/kg.

Unfortunately, there was insufficient data to produce a 7kg or 30kg weaner price this week.
