SCOTLAND, UK - Pig prices have eased back from a 26-month high of 151.9p/kg dwt in the final week of 2016, to below the 150p/kg mark at the beginning of February after five weeks of marginal declines.According to the latest analysis by Quality Meat Scotland (QMS), industry sources suggest that spot pig producer prices have opened last year’s contract levels, signalling that the availability of pigs for slaughter is running ahead of the quantity required by processors.Nevertheless, due to previous gains, producers were still paid an average of 32 per cent more per kilo than in early February 2016.
英国苏格兰猪价在2016年的最后一周从持续保持26个月的高价151.9便士/千克归落，在经过五周的小幅下跌后，跌破150便士/千克的关卡。根据苏格兰肉质部门的最新分析，行业内部消息透露，猪肉生产商的现货价格已经达到去年合约的价格水平，标志着出栏生猪数目已经跑在了加工商需求数量之前。然而，由于之前的涨幅，养猪户收到的每公斤猪肉价格将仍比2016年2月初均匀价格高出32%。
