For the majority of suppliers of live pigs, the selling prices fell by 0.25-1.25 UAH/kg last Friday. As a result, the price range has narrowed slightly this week and dropped compared to the previous week: for example, a kilo of pork (live weight) was bought at 44.5-46 UAH/kg this week. Occasionally, there were price offers that exceeded the maximum mentioned above, but only due to the local imbalance of supply-demand for conditioned pork.
Manufacturers reported that the production volumes have not yet fully recovered with the autumn coming. Demand for the commercial stock from meat processors remains relatively stable; livestock sales proceeded this week in planned volumes and without revision of pre-conditioned prices.
