Brazil’s live-hog price rose 14.71% in the first half of October, according to Cepea, improving producers’ purchasing power after earlier declines in feed costs. Pork carcass and beef prices rose faster than chicken prices in Greater São Paulo, while renewed increases in grain costs were flagged as a risk to hog-sector margins.
Higher hog prices and previously lower feed costs improved producer margins, but a renewed rise in feed grains could squeeze them again. Pork becoming more expensive relative to chicken could shift consumer demand toward poultry and limit further hog-price gains.
