Firmer prices ahead for pig meat
23 February 2007UK - Pig meat spot prices have maintained recent levels with signs of slightly firmer prices ahead, despite deadweight adjusted pig prices taking a downward step to 105.72p (week ended 17 February).Spot bacon quotes were generally between 100p, with some abattoirs looking for extra numbers and prepared to pay between 101 – 103p/kg.
