# Pig Market Update 11th November

> Irish pig prices fell by 6 cents per kilogram, leaving producers with reported prices of €1.62–€1.66/kg and average losses of about €28 per pig. A planned work-to-rule strike at processing plants is adding concern ahead of Christmas, while the update also notes recent declines in wheat and maize futures amid improved supply prospects and progress in the US corn harvest.
