1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information is provided in the report regarding the industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the second and third quarters, the supply of live pigs will remain abundant, and the demand boost will be limited. The market supply - demand pattern will show an oversupply situation, with the overall fundamentals being weak. Pig prices will continue to be under pressure. Although the Dragon Boat Festival stocking, secondary fattening, and frozen product warehousing will provide some support to pig prices, the support may be limited. It is expected that future pig prices will maintain a low - level oscillation [7][127]. - It is expected that the main live pig contract in June may maintain a low - level oscillation. It is advisable to focus on the support around 13,000 yuan/ton. Operationally, it is recommended to mainly adopt a wait - and - see approach, while aggressive investors can consider trying to go long at low prices when the opportunity arises [7][8][129]. 3.

In April 2025, the pork import volume decreased by 7.1% year - on - year and 11.1% month - on - month, reaching a historical low. In late May 2025, large - scale pig enterprises accelerated the slaughter rhythm, and the market volume of live pigs increased month - on - month. With the gradual increase in temperature, the enthusiasm of individual farmers to slaughter large pigs has increased, intensifying the phased supply pressure [125]. - Demand - side: At the end of April, the slaughter volume increased slightly month - on - month, reaching a historical high. The Dragon Boat Festival stocking showed some improvement, but the demand declined seasonally after the festival. With the gradual increase in temperature, the terminal demand was weak, and the procurement volume of households and the catering industry decreased month - on - month. At the same time, as pig prices fell, secondary fattening in the north also increased. White - striped meat dealers were waiting and seeing about future prices and mainly purchased based on rigid demand. The pork price lacked the driving force for an increase. Frozen products continued to be warehoused, but mainly passively, with less active warehousing [125][126]. - In terms of live pig breeding profit, in May 2025, the overall breeding profit showed a downward - oscillating trend. The breeding profit of purchasing piglets declined significantly from the previous month, turning from profit to loss; the breeding profit of self - breeding and self - raising live pigs decreased significantly from the previous month but remained in a profitable state [126].
