Pork just keeps getting cheaper.
At 65.61 cents a pound on Wednesday, the meat fetched the lowest wholesale price for the date in a decade. Hams, in particular, are spiraling, collapsing to 44.29 cents a pound, the lowest since April 2015.
The market is dropping to “a low enough price level to clear the short-term supply without help from exports,” Terry Roggensack, one of the founding principals at commodity researcher Hightower Report, said in a note Wednesday.
