The growth in pig prices came as a result of a shortage of pigs and higher consumption, he added.

In the neighbouring Germany, where local farmers export to the Czech Republic in the event of pressures for price cuts, pigs are sold at Kc41 per kilo this week.

Centroodbyt expects Czech prices to increase slightly to roughly Kc40.
