VEZG remains β¬1.60/kg SG (carcass weight), effective 3β9 September, with the Preisspanne unchanged at β¬1.60ββ¬1.70. Danish Crown is unchanged at DKK 6.90/kg for Week 37, Vion is unchanged at β¬1.36/kg for Week 36, while Mercolleida/Bellpuig Porc Normal increased β¬0.30 to β¬136.30/100 kg live for Week 37.
UNCHANGED / SLIGHTLY BEARISH UNDERCURRENT. Germanyβs live market remains balanced, but slaughter weight rose 0.4 kg to 97.8 kg and supply is gradually increasing. Meat demand is steady rather than improving materially. Danish Crown also reports pressure on bone-in cuts and warns that Europeβs structural oversupply may be returning.

Questions
+What is VEZG?
The weekly reference price for slaughter pigs in Germany, set by the producer association every Wednesday. Most European pork supply contracts settle against it.
+When do prices update?
VEZG decides on Wednesdays; the other markets publish Thursday and Friday. Each card shows when its source last published.
+What does /kg SG mean?
Schlachtgewicht β price per kilogram of carcass weight. Live-weight quotes price the whole animal, so they read lower.
