The profitability of the pig farming sector is growing, driven by prices and lower feed costs.

But the profitability of slaughtering is declining due to higher carcass costs.

21, Aug 2025

In July, the profitability of Italian closed-cycle pig farming returned to growth, recording a monthly increase of 5.4%, as indicated by Crefis surveys (www.crefis.it). This result was helped by the rise in prices for heavy slaughter pigs, which, for the type destined for the protected circuit, reached a value of €1.995/kg (+5% on a monthly basis and +3.5% on an annual basis) and by the simultaneous fall in feed raw material prices. The current level of profitability is also 1.7% higher than in the same month of 2024.
