The National Swine Raisers Association in Thailand has announced an increase in the price of pigs by 8 baht per kilogram, the second such increase in a week, due to rising production costs. The price varies across regions, with the western region having the highest price. The cost of raising pigs has contributed to the price increase, as assessed by the Pig Production Cost Subcommittee. The cost of purchasing piglets for fattening and the cost of self-production have also increased in the second and third quarters of 2021.
