The drop in live animal prices in recent days has been reducing the purchasing power of pig farmers in São Paulo compared to the main inputs of the activity, corn and soy bran.
According to researchers from the Center for Advanced Studies in Applied Economics (Cepea-Esalq), the pressure on animal prices comes from the weakening of demand by the industry for new batches of pigs for slaughter.
In view of this, Cepea calculations show that, on Tuesday (14) pig farmers in the region of Campinas (SP) managed to acquire 5.26 kilos of corn with the sale of a kilo of pork, 0.7% less than in previous Tuesday.
As for soybean meal, the pig farmer can buy 2.71 kilos of the derivative with the sale of a kilo of pork, a decrease of 0.8% in relation to the volume of the previous Tuesday.
