Pig Margins May 1, 2013 12:00 am BPEX has reported that pig margins have improved over the last quarter, but they remain negative for the average producer. Figures contained in the latest Market report show a loss of £2 per pig produced compared toa loss of £7 per pig in January. The reduction comes through a combination of lower costs of production (down to 162ppkg) due to small falls in feed prices, and slowly improving market prices. Note, of course, that these are only averages and they will be the usual range of profitability – some top pig producers will be continuing to make profits.
