Detailed information on cost and sale prices on Polish pig market in the period 2017-mid2022

The database contains detailed information on costs and sale prices of piglets and finishers on Polish martket in the period January 2017 - July 2022. The prices of cereals used for feeding are taken from the average monthly data of the Ministry of Agriculture and the daily stock exchange quotations of Agrolok. The remaining operational costs (veterinary costs, utilities, labor, and transport) were assumed at a constant average level established on the basis of the reference methodological publication of the Danish research and development organization called “Seges Innovation” (2022) and a manual on pig farming (Pawłowski, 2020). The same sources were used to determine the optimal feeding model, which is important for calculating feed costs. Assumptions for calculating feed cost, the cost of falls, labor costs in piglet and finisher production, as well as piglet transportation costs are presented in the excel sheet.
