About this indicator
The indicator tracks the price paid to farmers per kilo of hog. It is a short-cycle commodity: the time between deciding to produce and having the animal ready is weeks to a few months, very different from cattle.
This makes the market more reactive. When margins tighten, the producer quickly cuts placements, and supply drops in a short time — the price corrects faster than in beef cattle farming.
What drives prices up and down
They make up the bulk of production costs. Expensive grain eats into margins and leads the producer to reduce placements, which later reduces supply.
Brazil is one of the world's largest exporters of chicken meat and relevant in pork. The opening or closing of external markets shifts supply from the domestic market.
Disease outbreaks — avian flu, swine fever — close markets overnight and crash or spike prices depending on the affected country.
How to get exposure to swine - special carcass as an investor
There is no simple way for individual investors to buy a 60-kg bag or an arroba and store it. The price on this page is for the physical market: trading there involves producers, cooperatives, trading companies, and industries.
The most direct and accessible route. Agribusiness-related companies listed on B3 have earnings sensitive to these price quotations — and you can track each one on the stocks page.
Listed funds that finance the agricultural chain, usually via CRAs and receivables. Commodity prices affect the producer's ability to pay — and therefore the fund's credit risk. Check them out under real estate funds and Fiagros.
There are live cattle, corn, soybean, and coffee contracts traded on the exchange. This is the instrument used by those who need to lock in prices (producers and industry), not a long-term investment: it requires margin requirements, has an expiration date, and involves leverage.
Commodities do not pay dividends or interest: the return comes solely from price variation. Therefore, for most investors, it makes more sense to gain exposure to agribusiness through companies and funds — which generate cash — rather than trying to time the direction of price quotations.
