Danish export pork prices plummet

"News Today" reported on October 21 that data from the Danish Agricultural Council showed that at present, a healthy piglet is worth only 150 Danish kroner on the export market, while the price of a piglet of the same grade in June was 495 kronor
.
Jeppe Bloch Hansen, president of the Danish Pig Association, said that the cost of raising 30 kg of piglets is about 400 DKK, which means that farmers are losing money when they sell each pig
.
He said that there is almost no demand in the market, and in the past three weeks, the sales of live pigs have decreased by about 25%
.
In the long run, killing pigs may be more cost-effective than raising pigs
.
Torsten Simonsen, director of the Danish export company DTL, said that if the backlog of pigs continues, we have to destroy them
.
According to the report, the plummet of Danish export pork prices was caused by a series of reasons: the major export markets of Germany and Poland have fallen sharply, the development of China's domestic animal husbandry technology has reduced Asian demand, and the current price of pig feed is at a high level
