The article highlights the recent rise in pig production costs in October, as reported by Embrapa's Poultry and Pig Intelligence Center, with the Production Cost Index (ICPSuíno) increasing by 0.71% to 449.20 points. This rise is primarily due to an increase in nutrition costs, contributing to a total production cost per kilogram of live pig increasing to R$ 7.85 in October. In contrast, broiler production costs (ICPFrango) remained relatively stable, decreasing by 0.07% to 424.90 points. These indices are calculated for Santa Catarina for pork and Paraná for broiler chickens, serving as a key reference for the productive sector.
