  • Beef producers’ profitability index reached 62, a 20-year high, supported by strong demand for Swedish beef amid limited supply.
  • Pig producers’ profitability index slumped to 0 from 54 in spring as increased competition drove down producer prices.
  • Dairy producers’ profitability index fell to 34 from 44 in spring, also below year-earlier levels.
  • Expected increases in input costs dampened farmers’ outlook, despite improving overall profitability and stronger investment intentions.
