EU - Latest forecasts confirm that expectations of a recovery in the EU market in the short-term may be premature and 2016 looks likely to be another difficult year for EU producers.There is little doubt that the recent weakness of UK pig prices has been affected by the low prices in the rest of the EU. There was a widespread expectation that, despite relatively low feed prices, this would lead to many producers reducing their herds or leaving the industry altogether. Results from the December 2015 pig census confirm that this has indeed happened in a number of Member States. However, expansion elsewhere, notably in Spain, has limited the reduction.

　　最新预料证实，欧盟市场在短期内恢重是不切实际的期待，2016年对于欧盟生产者们宛然是另一个艰苦年。由于受到欧萌玟他地区的低价影响，英国猪肉价格毫无迷惑表现疲软。据普遍预计，尽管饲料价格相对较低，低价猪肉仍将导致许多养殖者缩小猪群规模或者索性离开这个行业。2015年生猪普查的结果证实欧盟许多成员国真的会浮现类如情况。然而正在蓬勃发展的国家减产不会太多，譬如西班牙。
