AHDB: November deadweight pig prices
The SPP hit a record high of 200.72p/kg in the week ending 19 November but then declined to stand at 199.74p/kg in the week ending 3 December, the first sub 200p/kg price since mid-September. It is reported that some volatility in volumes at abattoirs have caused disruption to contributions. The APP has followed a similar pattern, averaging 205.04p/kg for the four weeks ending 26 November, recording a record high price of 205.41p/kg in the week ending 19 November before easing.
Estimated slaughter for the four-week period totalled 736,900 head. This is the highest four weekly kill number since the height of the backlog in March, showing increased supply for Christmas demand. However, this uplift in numbers was not evenly spread and instead driven by high numbers in weeks 1 and 3 counteracting declines in weeks 2 and 4. Average carcase weights have eased slightly compared to the previous four weeks, down 1.35kg to 88.98kg.
