Pork supply markets, especially in northern Europe, are facing pressure due to excess supply and insufficient trade, leading to reduced prices in Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium. Protests in Germany over reduced agricultural subsidies have further slowed pig trade. In contrast, Spain is experiencing strong demand from slaughterhouses, potentially exceeding supply, while Italy is grappling with falling prices due to oversupply. In the US, pork prices are rising due to weather-related supply disruptions. As the Chinese New Year approaches, China's pork prices are showing signs of recovery. Holidays generally ensure ample pork supply, preventing price pressure, but often result in many pigs left without bids. Specifically, in the Uniporc zone, 361,928 pigs were slaughtered in the second week of a 5-day activity period.
