“It Ain’t Easy – David Bowie

Something of a two-tier trade is continuing to emerge with the gap between UK and EU pig prices continuing to widen.

 

Although the latest SPP managed to nudge up by 0.21p to stand at 153.01p, the equivalent German producer price has risen by  another 3 Cents to 1.88 EUR which at current exchange rates is equivalent to 172p/kg, so perhaps our pig producers should change their nationality and become Germans before Brexit to obtain this premium!
