Core Viewpoint - After the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, live pig futures prices continue to decline, reaching new lows due to the concentrated release of previously held pigs by small and medium-sized farming entities and sales driven by pandemic-related pressures [1][2] Supply Side - The government has emphasized guiding reasonable price recovery, initiating capacity reduction in the pig industry since late May. From June to August, large-scale farming entities significantly increased their slaughter volumes, but prices did not show a notable decline due to winter pandemic impacts and small-scale farmers holding back pigs [2] - Small-scale farmers typically purchase piglets for batch fattening, and the current slaughtered pigs are mainly those replenished in the spring. As inventory decreases, the number of pigs available for slaughter from small-scale farmers will decline [2] Demand Side - Post-holiday, tourism consumption has cooled, and household demand remains weak, leading to an overall decline in demand. Major slaughterhouses have limited new orders, and their operating rates are expected to decrease [2] Policy Measures - In 2023, the government has held multiple meetings to discuss capacity regulation in the pig industry, with a focus on reducing the breeding sows by 1 million by the end of January 2026 among 25 major enterprises. A cross-departmental coordination mechanism will be established to enforce regulations [1] - The Ministry of Ecology and Environment will enhance pollution supervision, while the Financial Regulatory Bureau will restrict credit for capacity expansion. The Ministry of Finance will eliminate subsidies that stimulate capacity growth, marking a shift from guiding measures to rigid enforcement [1] Market Outlook - In the medium term, indicators reflecting piglet supply and demand suggest that pig prices may continue to face pressure in the next three months. The increase in large-scale farming has led to a significant rise in their share in the front-end production, while small-scale farmers focus more on downstream fattening, stabilizing basic production capacity but highlighting production efficiency impacts [4]
