Costings & Herd Performance
Producer net margins
The net margins shown in the following chart are based on the difference between the monthly DAPP and the estimated total cost of producing pig meat (including depreciation costs) for an average producer. The method used to calculate the estimated cost of production has recently been reviewed and details of the resulting changes can be found here.
The results shown in the chart should only be considered as indicative of general trends, because:.
- Physical and financial performance levels can vary greatly between producers
- The assumptions used for feed costs of spot compound prices will not apply to all producers due to the range of feed procurement strategies in the industry.
