Looks Like An Expensive Summer For Pork

Avian Flu holds at 36 states with cases detected steady for three weeks now.  Only 306 new cases reported since last week. the last 13 reports have all been small backyard farms, the last major producer report was almost a month ago on June 9.  We have a few very tough months to get through as turkey and egg producers look to restock their farms and get production going again.  Recovery will take pretty much the rest of 2022.  Egg prices are starting to show the strain of losing all those birds.  Even with inflated egg prices, eggs continue to be a good value for protein.  I do think we will see continued increases on eggs.  Chicken production is holding steady and the market is pretty quiet this week.  Coming out of the holiday with lower production numbers should pause a lower market for a week or so but I still see the overall chicken market moving lower. Episode Sources: https://www.ams.usda.gov/market-news/daily-pork-reportshttps://www.cdc.gov/flu/avianflu/data-map-commercial.html https://usda.library.cornell.edu/concern/publications/gm80hv35d?locale=en#release-itemshttps://www.urnerbarry.com/https://www.uniprofoodservice.com/http://www.cheesereporter.com/prices.htmlLearn more on our website, Savalfoods.comFind us on Social Media:InstagramFacebookYouTubeTwitterLinkedInSaval Foodservice is proudly celebrating 90 years in business in 2022.Shop our exclusive line of delicatessen products, Saval Deli- still made in Baltimore, Maryland, since 1932. Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn
