Quotation methodologies differ β€” carcass grading, delivery terms and units are not the same across markets β€” so these series are indicative and not directly comparable.

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.

Prices meet the marketplace
