The Polish pig market is facing a mysterious situation as the recommended rate on the German stock exchange has been held at 1.92 euros per kilogram since November, which is higher than the average price of 7.60 PLN per kilogram that domestic breeders are receiving for fattened pigs. This discrepancy is due to weak domestic pork trade and a reliance on pork imports, which have resulted in a surplus of pork in the market.
