Slim Pickings!
Bank Holidays are rarely welcomed within our sector, even though a number of forward looking processors continue to operate on these days and organise staff holidays differently to compensate. There was still a clear concern that a consumer dip in demand is expected to coincide with the holiday and buyers were very cautious for numbers. After a battling type of day, we were able to keep the decks cleared – just!
However, there was an underlying feeling that we can expect pressure on our market for some time. The main high street retailers continue to wage war on one another, with talk of even harder hitting price promotions and set against the threat of higher UK pig-meat prices, we could see a marked reversal in the recent import/export situation for fresh and frozen pork (F&FP)*. Over Jan – June 2010, our exports for F&FP were up 29% over the same period in 2009. (This is mainly cull sow meat, not prime fresh pork) Meanwhile imports of F&FP were down 12% overall, with Danish imports down 34%, but UP by a similar amount from Holland. Can it be pure coincidence that a certain Danish owned facility over here in the UK has been keen to expand its UK supply base, whilst a certain Dutch owned facility hasn’t! *(Figures for imported bacon continue to rise)
With UK fresh-meat pigs selling themselves on audited provenance and quality, do keep an eye on pig gradings. We are entering the period when back-fats begin climbing to their peak in late October and with the DAPP sample again showing a higher reading than has been recorded for some time, do take nutritional advice. Improved PIG health will add to fat levels, but it is important to maintain our quality differential to EU pigs, or it takes away one compelling reason to buy British!
