Irish pig throughput in 2026 is running ahead of 2025, with over 2.7 million pigs processed by the week ending October 10. Irish pig prices averaged €1.68/kg excluding VAT over the past five weeks, about 12% below the same period in 2025.
Rising European supply and weaker international demand are pressuring prices.
Higher Irish and wider European throughput means more pigs consuming feed, but lower prices squeeze producer margins and could slow expansion. The net effect on feed prices is modest.
