Small and larger pork producers in Hungary are expressing disappointment and concern over the potential for significant price increases due to rising production costs and energy prices. The price of live pigs has increased by approximately 60%, leading to estimates that the consumer price of pork could rise by about 25%. However, an oversupply situation on the global market, caused by a decrease in the Chinese pork herd and reduced imports, could result in cheap Spanish pork flooding the Hungarian market and displacing local producers. Additionally, the retail purchase price of pork in Hungary has already increased by an average of 50% compared to last summer.
