[27] - In the planting industry, the prices of grains such as corn, wheat, and soybeans are showing signs of recovery, and the industry's prosperity is expected to improve. [29] Summary by Directory 01 Pig Farming: Left - side Layout, Awaiting Reversal - **Weak Season in Peak Season, Lowest Pig Price in Q4 2025 in the Past 10 Years, Capacity Adjustment as the Main Theme**: In 2025, the national pig price decreased quarter - by - quarter. Q4 pig price was the lowest in the past 10 years. Due to factors like post - Spring Festival low demand and sufficient supply, and an increase in the number of breeding sows from September to November 2024, which led to more pig slaughter in Q3 2025. In May 2025, relevant departments guided pig enterprises, and in the second half of the year, capacity reduction was significant, with the number of breeding sows falling below 40 million in October. [10] - **Overall Loss in Purchased Piglet Farming, Promoting Capacity Reduction of Retailers**: With the continuous decline of pig prices, self - breeding and self - raising turned from profit to loss in September, and the loss expanded. Purchased piglet farming was even worse, with an average loss of over 100 yuan per head in 2025. Retailers faced longer - term and deeper losses. [14] - **Policy Guidance, Passive Capacity Reduction, and Future High - quality Development**: Since 2025, relevant departments have held multiple meetings to guide the high - quality development of the pig industry. The central government's No. 1 document proposed to monitor and regulate pig production capacity. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs put forward specific plans. In December, the Ministry of Commerce imposed anti - dumping duties on imported pork from the EU, which is expected to relieve domestic supply pressure. [16] - **Pressure on Pig Prices in H1 2026, Possible Rebound in H2**: In H1 2026, pig prices are under pressure because the number of new - born piglets 6 months ago is increasing, indicating sufficient supply.

[22] - **Focus on Cost Reduction and Efficiency Improvement, Significant Cost Differentiation**: Pig enterprises have been focusing on cost reduction and efficiency improvement in 2024 and 2025, with significant cost reduction and obvious cost differentiation. Muyuan Foods Co., Ltd. has the lowest cost, followed by other companies with different cost ranges.

In 2025, the soybean price increased seasonally. The price decline in Q1 was due to the arrival of low - priced imported soybeans and soybean auctions. The price increase in Q3 was due to rising Brazilian soybean quotes and shipping freight. [42]
