Group 1: Sales Performance - Major listed companies in pig farming reported significant year-on-year increases in sales volume for September 2023, with Muyuan Foods selling 5.573 million pigs (up 11.05%), Wens Foodstuffs selling 3.3253 million pigs (up 32.46%), and Zhengbang Technology's sales surging by 107.64% to 790,700 pigs [2]. - Other companies like New Hope and Tangrenshen also reported notable increases in sales volume, with growth rates of 16.92% and 28.33% respectively [2]. Group 2: Price Trends - The average selling price of pigs decreased significantly in September 2023, leading to a "volume increase, price decrease" effect. Muyuan Foods' average price was 12.88 yuan/kg (down 30.94%), while Wens Foods' average price was 13.18 yuan/kg (down 30.81%) [3]. - The sales revenue for these companies also declined, with Muyuan Foods experiencing a 22.46% drop in revenue [3].

Muyuan Foods has raised its 2025 piglet output forecast to between 12 million and 14.5 million, while Wens Foods is leveraging its diversified operations [3]. - New Hope is focusing on cost control and efficiency improvements to counter price risks [3]. Group 4: Market Outlook - The supply-demand dynamics in the pig farming industry are expected to remain challenging in Q4 2023, with supply pressures likely to dominate the market.

Group 5: Recommendations for Companies - Companies are advised to control production capacity, reduce costs, and ensure cash flow by implementing strategies such as slowing down output and enhancing breeding efficiency [4]. - Additionally, extending the industrial chain and developing deep processing of pigs can help increase product value and reduce reliance on single sales channels [5].
