Markets provided by Commodity Sept., Reynolds k Compsnj
In typical seasonal fashion, hog and belly production
are apt to decline in the months ahead—while pork
belly consumption should rise.
Will these factors prompt an advance in belly

Or will a burdensome stock of frozen bellies stop
it before it starts ?

special report from our Commodity Research Depart
