Profitability of Italian pig farmers falls in June

Slaughter and curing of PDO hams recovering slightly

10, Jul 2025

Profitability contracted in June for pig farmers in the closed cycle: the Crefis index showed a 1.2% cyclical decrease, while on an annual basis the drop was more marked at -6.1%. The sector was negatively affected by the fall in prices for heavy slaughter pigs, which fell by 1% on a monthly basis to reach 1.900 euro/kg in the protected circuit (the trend change was slightly positive at 0.1%), and the simultaneous increase - albeit slight - in feed costs.
