By: Despite a downward trend at the end of the month, average pork prices in May remained higher than in April, supported by gains in the first half of the month, according to a recent market report from Cepea.

Weaker consumer demand for pork—common at the end of the month—put pressure on prices, but the earlier rally kept monthly averages elevated.
