Prices on live hogs have increased rapidly
In the first half of March, prices for live hogs have increased in average on 7%. According to the UCAB monitoring, as of March 16, the cost of meat breeds hogs in Ukraine amounted to 28.00-29.50 UAH/kg, sometimes 30.00 UAH/kg. Prices for lard breed hogs have grown less significantly. In the middle of the month they were 25.00-26.50 UAH/kg.
Increasing of the prices was caused by decreasing offer on the market and more intensified demand. Some market operators started marking off the deficit of live hogs. However, with the beginning of the Lent, demand for meat has traditionally somewhat reduced especially in the western regions.
