UK - The signs of a seasonal change in the pig market have become apparent in recent weeks, according to the latest analysis by Quality Meat Scotland (QMS).After falling by 7p/kg in January, the weekly declines in the GB Standard Producer Price (SPP) began to slow in February, sliding by around 2.5p during the month.After a marginal decline in the week ending March 5, the SPP then gained ground for the first time in seventeen weeks, edging up by 0.25p/kg to reach a four-week high of 112.37p/kg dwt. Nevertheless, observed Iain Macdonald, Senior Economics Analyst with QMS, this was still down by 15 per cent year-on-year.
