Christmas shock? Why Mallorca's pork could face price shocks over the holidays

Answer

Will pork prices in Mallorca rise at Christmas because of the Catalonia outbreak?

They could, even though there are no confirmed cases on Mallorca. The risk comes from possible trade restrictions, transport disruption and the pressure of Christmas demand, which can quickly unsettle the market. That does not guarantee higher prices, but short-term swings are a real possibility.
