Pork prices in Romania have decreased significantly, yet consumers may face higher costs for Christmas 2026 due to increased demand. Currently, the average price at farms is around 6 lei per kilogram, but prices could rise in December. Romania's pork price drop is among the largest in the EU, with a 21.7% decrease compared to last year. However, the country relies heavily on imports for its pork supply, covering 60-65% of domestic consumption. The ongoing African swine fever remains a challenge for local producers, affecting their export capabilities and market stability.
