Page 3 details a new peak price for the global pig price cycle. An interview with the Chief Sustainability Officer of Smithfield Foods occupies Page 4. Page 5 describes the latest changes in EU pig prices. An analysis of the UK's herd census suggests there may be sign of an upturn on page 6. The top 10 German abattoirs are also tabulated on that page. The North American herd data is reviewed on page 7 and it looks like it has finally hit bottom.

Rising Australian production and exports narrow the trade gap in the Australian market on page 10. Japanese pork imports are boosted by US pork on page 11 whereas the FMD outbreak drives South Korean market to new heights.
