Pig farming profitability slightly up for the closed cycle, but the gap to 2024 remains

The market for fresh cuts weighs on the profitability of slaughtering, while the profitability gap between PDO and generic cured hams improves

09, Jun 2025

A slight improvement in the profitability of Italian farmers engaged in the closed cycle was observed in May. According to the Crefis index (www.crefis.it), the month-on-month increase was 0.9%, driven mainly by the recovery of heavy slaughter pig prices, which rose by 1.5% compared to April to reach EUR 1.920/kg. However, compared to the same month in 2024, the situation remains less favourable, with profitability down by 5% and prices down by around 3% year-on-year.
