Why Higher Priced Pork Meat Should Be Considered Over “Affordable Prices”

  Over the last two years, events such as geo-political unrest and the pandemic have contributed to a volatile economy, which, now, coupled by hefty inflation, has increased the cost of living across the globe. In addition, the increase in the cost of fuel has impacted the food value and supply chain. It’s a vicious cycle: farmers can’t afford to feed and supply pigs at the same rate yet the demand for pork remains relatively high because it is still one of the more affordable proteins. People were concerned that these macroeconomic factors may result in supply shortages with the consequential demand for pork products. However, prices have still inflated and many families can’t not afford to purchase the expensive pork meat. It really is a conundrum, but at Van Wyngaardt, we supply our pork at wholesale prices to ensure our customers are still able to afford superior quality, tasty processed meat. Van Wyngaardt takes great pride in sourcing the finest pork products. From tasty cured meats to succulent ribs, we stock a variety of meats perfect for any occasion.
