EU - Since the start of the year, EU sow prices have generally been stable.In fact, for the key German market, this stability has been apparent since the end of November, although the average M1 sow price has been at a low level of 95/kg.This is the lowest price recorded since the dioxin crisis of January 2011. With the pound weakening against the euro during this period, the sterling value of the German sow price has increased from below 67p/kg to 72.5p/kg in the latest week.

　　自今年年初以来，欧盟母猪价格普遍保持稳定。实际上德国市场表现尤其关键，尽管母猪均匀价格处于较低水平,在95美分/公斤左右，而德国市场的稳定性在十一月底就表现显然。这是自2011年一月二恶英危机以来记录的最低价格。在慈缵间英镑对欧元贬值，用英镑衡量德国母猪价值，那么最近一周德国母猪从67磅/千克上升到72.5磅/千克。
