  1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Long - term: Supply increases, demand peaks, and it's an era of small profits. A profit of 200 yuan per pig may be the price ceiling. Macroscopically, the government promotes a reasonable recovery of prices and uses reserve purchases to support the market. In terms of supply and demand, supply is expected to increase continuously after July (except for a slight decline in July), and the supply growth rate is faster than the demand growth rate before November. The supply - demand gap is expected to narrow at the end of the year. Pig prices are expected to be strong from July to August, then gradually decline under pressure, and have a seasonal rebound at the end of the year. Spot prices are expected to range from 13 - 16 yuan/kg, and futures prices from 12.5 - 15 yuan/kg. Opportunities to short at high prices can be considered from July to August, and industrial clients can consider selling hedging for far - month contracts after the high in the third quarter [58]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Long - term: Stable Supply, Peak Demand, and Era of Small Profits 3.1.1 Supply Dimension - Concentration Increase and Stable Capacity: Currently, the proportion of small - scale farmers' pig sales is 31.9% (91.3% in 2000), and that of large - scale enterprises is 68.1% (8.7% in 2000). Group farms are expanding rapidly, and small - scale farmers are exiting. With the increase in the concentration of large - scale breeding enterprises, their influence on pig prices has increased. The production capacity will be relatively stable as large - scale enterprises have stronger anti - risk capabilities [7]. - Improvement in Production Efficiency: There is still much room for improvement in China's pig production efficiency compared with foreign countries. For example, Denmark's PSY is as high as 34.14, while the UK's is 26.64. In 2022, the daily weight gain in Denmark and Sweden exceeded 1000 grams. With stable and slightly increasing capacity, higher large - scale proportion, and improved production efficiency, the supply from leading enterprises will continue to increase [10]. 3.1.2 Consumption Dimension - Peak in Pork Consumption: In 2014 and 2023, pig prices were low and there were breeding losses, indicating oversupply. The similar pork production in 2014 and 2023 shows that domestic demand may have saturated at around 58 million tons, suggesting that China's pork consumption may have peaked in 2014 [13]. 3.1.3 Supply - Demand and Profit - Gradually Loosening Supply - Demand and Small Profits: China's population decline is faster than expected, which will lead to a decrease in pork consumption in the long run. The total pork consumption is the product of the total population and per - capita consumption. With a negative population growth and a possible peak in per - capita pork consumption, the total demand is weakening. A profit of about 200 yuan per pig corresponds to a cost increase of 2 yuan/kg [17][18]. 3.2 Medium - and Short - Term: Sufficient Supply and Lower Price Center 3.2.1 Supply Side - Adequate Capacity: As of the end of May 2025, the national inventory of breeding sows was 40.42 million, 103.64% of the normal inventory of 39 million, with a month - on - month increase of 0.1% and a year - on - year decrease of 1.2%, indicating sufficient breeding sow capacity [21]. - Weak Will to Reduce Capacity: There is a lack of strong motivation among producers to reduce production capacity as shown by relevant profit and sow culling data [23][24][25]. - Continuous Improvement in Production Efficiency: Indicators such as the breeding - farrowing rate, piglet survival rate, litter size of healthy piglets, and fattening pig survival rate have shown an upward trend, indicating continuous improvement in production efficiency [29]. - Increasing Slaughter: In the first half of the year, the national pig slaughter was 366.19 million, a year - on - year increase of 0.6%. Except for a slight decline in July, the slaughter volume is expected to increase continuously, and the pig price center is expected to decline accordingly [36]. - Increasing Second - Fattening Pressure: The enthusiasm for second - fattening was similar to last year from February to April this year, reaching a peak in mid - April and then declining rapidly. However, the utilization rate of second - fattening pens has recently increased rapidly, indicating that the supply pressure is postponed, and the subsequent second - fattening slaughter pressure will increase [39]. - Increasing Slaughter Weight: This year's pig slaughter weight is at a four - year high, with an average increase of 3 kg compared to last year. Due to low feed costs, enterprise breed improvement, and favorable standard - fat price spreads, large - scale enterprises have generally increased the slaughter weight. The game between large - scale enterprises and small - scale farmers makes weight reduction uncertain [43]. 3.2.2 Demand Side - Seasonal Weakening of Slaughter Volume: The pig slaughter volume shows a seasonal weakening trend [44]. 3.2.3 Price - Widening Standard - Fat Price Spread and Rebounding Piglet Price: The standard - fat price spread has widened, and the piglet price has rebounded [46]. 3.2.4 Policy - CPI and Policy Actions: The government aims to promote a reasonable recovery of prices. Relevant policies include large - scale enterprises not increasing the number of breeding sows, reducing the slaughter weight to 120 kg, and banning the second - fattening of the head part [51]. - Pork Reserve Early - Warning and Adjustment Mechanism: The mechanism has different early - warning levels and corresponding reserve adjustment measures for both excessive price drops and rises. As of June 11, the official pig - grain ratio was 6.12, in the third - level early - warning, and frozen meat reserve purchases were initiated in advance [52][54].
