The consolidation of the German slaughterhouse sector is tabulated on page 2 along with a table collating the latest EU forecasts of pig numbers. Page 3’s analysis of the Global Pig Price Index describes some warning signs in the global pig price cycle. An interview with JSR's chairman and a visit to JSR Genetics by Whole Hog takes up pages 4 and 5. Page 6 describes the most recent EU pig price changes with comparison charts. Canada’s pork exports rebounded at the beginning of 2012 and are shown on page 7. Page 8 illustrates how US pork exports have begun 2012. The Australian trade data for January 2012 show a jump in imports from Canada and the USA. Japanese imports are still growing at the beginning of 2012 and are shown on page 10. On the same page South Korean pork imports are also seen to grow but are levelling off.
