Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the long - term, as the process of capacity optimization progresses, the market supply - demand relationship will gradually improve, and the far - month contracts are relatively supported due to the expectation of policy - driven capacity reduction. In the medium - term, with high supply pressure, pig prices are likely to fall rather than rise. In the short - term, pig prices may fluctuate due to multiple factors. Currently, the supply pressure remains high, and the oversupply situation is difficult to fundamentally change in the short - term, so pig prices may continue to be under pressure, and the market may maintain range - bound fluctuations [7][117]. Summary by Directory 1. Price Analysis (1) Futures Price - In October 2025, the main contract of live hog futures switched from LH2511 to LH2601, which fluctuated widely after a gap - down opening and dropped significantly overall.

(5) China's Pork Imports - In September 2025, China's monthly pork imports were 80 thousand tons, the same as the previous year and a month - on - month decrease of 20%, and were at the lowest level in the past five years [66]. 4. Demand - Side Situation (1) Slaughter Volume of Designated Live Hog Slaughtering Enterprises in China - In September 2025, the slaughter volume of designated live hog slaughtering enterprises in China was 35.84 million heads, a month - on - month increase of 2.34 million heads (6.99%), and was at the highest level in the past five years [73]. (2) Pork and Main Meat Production - As of September 30, 2025, the national cumulative main meat production was 731.2 million tons, of which the cumulative pork production was 436.8 million tons, accounting for 59.74% [77]. 5.

Pig - Grain Ratio - As of October 31, 2025, the pig - grain ratio in China was 5.54. According to the standard, the live hog price is in the second - level early - warning range of excessive decline, and the national reserve operation frequency has increased recently [110]. 8. Recent Policies and Conferences in the Live Hog Industry (1) Live Hog Capacity Regulation Enterprise Symposium - On September 16, the Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and the Price Department of the National Development and Reform Commission held a symposium, involving capacity control of reproductive sows, restriction of "secondary fattening", and weight reduction of live hog slaughter. The official proposed to reduce the reproductive sow inventory to 39.5 million heads, and many leading pig enterprises responded to the regulation [112][113]. (2) Video Conference on Live Hog Quarantine and Slaughter Work - On October 15, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs held a video conference to strengthen live hog quarantine and slaughter work, emphasizing the importance of quarantine and slaughter supervision, and requiring further optimization of related work to ensure pork product quality and safety [114]. 9. Fundamental Analysis - In October 2025, the national live hog spot price, binary sow price, and piglet price all declined. The supply pressure remains high, and the actual capacity reduction is slow. The inventory of frozen pork has increased due to the slowdown in sales. The demand has recovered to some extent with the drop in temperature, but the increase is limited. The breeding profit is in a loss state [115][116]. 10. Future Outlook - The same as the core viewpoints, in the long - term, the supply - demand relationship will improve; in the medium - term, pig prices are likely to fall; in the short - term, prices may fluctuate. The current supply pressure is high, and pig prices may continue to be under pressure [7][117]. 11. Operation Strategy - It is expected that the main live hog contract in November may maintain low - level range - bound fluctuations. For single - side trading, take a range - bound approach and gradually stop profiting on previous short positions; for arbitrage, consider reverse arbitrage; for options, wait and see for the time being [8][118][119].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The current pig market is characterized by an oversupply situation, with high pig production capacity and a weak demand outlook. The short - term supply - demand imbalance is difficult to reverse, and the pig price is under pressure. Although the policy has released positive signals, the actual reduction in production capacity is less than expected. The pig price is expected to remain in a weak and volatile state in the short term, with a possible seasonal improvement in the fourth quarter and a potential price rebound [7][8]. - For the strategy, the main contract of live pigs is expected to fluctuate widely at a low level, with a reference range of 11,000 - 13,000. In the options market, selling out - of - the - money put options is recommended [8]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1. Weekly Views and Strategies - **Fundamental Viewpoints** - **Spot Market**: The weekly average price of live pigs increased to 11.33 yuan/kg, up 3.47% week - on - week and down 34.92% year - on - year. The low pig price has increased the enthusiasm for secondary fattening, providing some support around 10 yuan/kg. However, the high supply and weak demand situation persists, and the market is expected to remain weak and volatile [7][14]. - **Production Capacity**: In the first three quarters of 2025, the national pig slaughter reached 529.92 million heads, a year - on - year increase of 1.8%. The pork output was 43.68 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 3.0%. By the end of the third quarter, the national pig inventory was 436.8 million heads, a year - on - year increase of 2.3%. In September 2025, the inventory of breeding sows was 4.035 million heads, a year - on - year decrease of 0.7%. The production efficiency has improved, and the pig slaughter is expected to continue to grow until May 2026 [7]. - **Strategy Views and Outlook** - **Outlook**: Policy signals are positive, but the actual reduction in production capacity is slow. In the short term, the supply is abundant, and it is the off - season for demand, so the pig price is under pressure. In the medium term, the production capacity is still being released. The government has introduced a "double 100,000 - head" task for large - scale breeding enterprises. The supply pressure in the fourth quarter of this year and the first quarter of next year is still large, but the demand may improve seasonally in the fourth quarter [8]. - **Strategy**: The supply - demand imbalance is expected to continue in the short term. The main contract is expected to fluctuate between 11,000 - 13,000. Selling out - of - the - money put options is recommended [8]. 3.2. Futures and Spot Market - **Pig Futures and Spot Prices**: The weekly average price of live pigs increased to 11.33 yuan/kg, up 3.47% week - on - week and down 34.92% year - on - year. The low price has increased the enthusiasm for secondary fattening, but the high supply and weak demand situation persists [14]. - **Futures - Spot Basis**: No specific information provided. - **Futures Price Spreads**: No specific analysis provided. - **Standard - Fat and Hairy - White Price Spreads**: The prices of standard and fat pigs increased synchronously this week. The average price difference between standard and fat pigs was - 0.76 yuan/kg, the same as last week. The increase was due to the sufficient supply of standard pigs, low inventory of large - weight fat pigs, and the recovery of catering consumption. The price increase of standard pigs was more significant, leading to a narrowing of the price difference [34]. - **Prices of Piglets and Binary Sows**: The weekly average price of 7 - kg piglets was 166.43 yuan/head, up 0.72% week - on - week and down 50.57% year - on - year. The low market sentiment and strict environmental regulations in Guangdong and Guangxi have reduced the enthusiasm for piglet replenishment [38]. - **Price of Culled Sows**: The average price of culled sows this week was 8.29 yuan/kg, up 2.01% week - on - week and down 35.59% year - on - year. The price is expected to continue to fluctuate with the pig price [41]. 3.3. Production Capacity - **Inventory of Breeding Sows**: In September 2025, the national inventory of breeding sows was 4.035 million heads, a year - on - year decrease of 0.7% and a month - on - month decrease of 0.2%. Although it is within the normal range, it is at the upper limit. The production efficiency has improved, and the pig slaughter is expected to grow until May 2026. According to sample data, the inventory of breeding sows in large - scale farms decreased slightly in September, and the inventory of small and medium - sized farms also decreased [45][48]. - **Culling Volume of Breeding Sows**: In September, the culling volume of breeding sows in large - scale farms was 106,603 heads, a month - on - month increase of 2.54% and a year - on - year increase of 9.60%. The culling volume of small and medium - sized farms was 11,526 heads, a month - on - month increase of 13.80% and a year - on - year increase of 29.83%. The culling volume is expected to continue to increase in October, but the process may be slow [51]. - **Inventory Proportion of Breeding Sows**: No specific analysis provided. 3.4. Supply Side - **Inventory of Commercial Pigs**: In September, the inventory of commercial pigs in large - scale farms was 36.8499 million heads, a month - on - month increase of 1.44% and a year - on - year increase of 5.29%. The inventory of small and medium - sized farms was 1.5402 million heads, a month - on - month increase of 2.93% and a year - on - year increase of 6.29%. The inventory is expected to increase in October [58]. - **Slaughter Volume of Commercial Pigs**: In September, the slaughter volume of commercial pigs in large - scale farms was 10.2173 million heads, a month - on - month decrease of 4.54% and a year - on - year increase of 23.49%. The slaughter volume of small and medium - sized farms was 0.4803 million heads, a month - on - month increase of 1.39% and a year - on - year increase of 33.52%.

The weight is expected to be supported next week [67]. 3.5. Demand Side - **Pig Slaughter Volume**: The proportion of pigs under 90 kg and over 150 kg in the slaughter volume remained the same as last week. The temperature drop has increased the expectation of a wider standard - fat price difference, but it has little impact on the slaughter proportion of small and large - weight pigs [71]. - **Cold Storage Rate of Slaughtering Enterprises**: The fresh - sales rate of key slaughtering enterprises this week was 86.14%, the same as last week. The cold - storage rate was 18.08%, an increase of 0.24% from last week. The fresh - sales rate is expected to decline next week, and the cold - storage rate may continue to increase slightly [76]. - **Operating Rate and Fresh - Sales Rate of Slaughtering Enterprises**: The operating rate of slaughtering enterprises this week was 34.94%, an increase of 2.56 percentage points from last week and 7.35 percentage points from the same period last year. The operating rate is expected to continue to increase slightly next week [77]. - **Substitute Prices**: No specific analysis provided. 3.6. Cost and Profit - **Pig Breeding and Slaughtering Profit**: The pig breeding industry has entered a deep - loss stage. The average loss per head of self - breeding and self - raising and purchasing piglets this week was 149.54 yuan and 279.65 yuan respectively, both showing a downward trend. The price is expected to remain strong in the short term, but the overall supply - demand pattern has not changed fundamentally [91]. - **Slaughter Gross Profit and Feed - to - Meat Ratio**: No specific analysis provided. - **Pig - Grain Ratio**: The pig - grain ratio this week was 5.13, a week - on - week increase of 3.89%. The market has returned to the third - level early - warning range. The pig - grain ratio is expected to fluctuate little next week [98].
供需矛盾加剧 生猪弱势格局难扭转
Qi Huo Ri Bao· 2025-10-20 23:56
Core Viewpoint - The overall demand for live pigs during the National Day holiday showed a "peak season not prosperous" trend, with prices declining and supply pressures expected to persist post-holiday [1][3]. Supply and Demand Dynamics - After the National Day holiday, the supply pressure in the live pig market is unlikely to ease, leading to a significant imbalance between supply and demand, with the average price of live pigs reported at 10.95 yuan/kg, a year-on-year decrease of 38.96% [1][3]. - The futures market for live pigs saw a decline, with the main contract hitting a record low of 11,120 yuan/ton on October 13, indicating a pessimistic market sentiment regarding future supply and demand dynamics [3]. Policy and Regulatory Environment - The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has held multiple meetings to promote high-quality development in the pig industry, suggesting measures such as reducing the number of breeding sows and controlling new production capacity [4]. - A significant policy directive was issued requiring the top 25 pig farming enterprises to reduce their breeding sows by 1 million heads by the end of January 2026, representing about 10% of their current stock [4]. Current Industry Metrics - As of August 2025, the national breeding sow stock was reported at 40.38 million heads, slightly above the normal range, indicating a temporary oversupply situation [5]. - The production efficiency in the pig farming industry has improved, with the average number of weaned piglets per sow increasing from 24 to over 26, leading to prolonged capacity cycles [5]. Market Behavior and Trends - Due to falling prices, many large-scale enterprises are accelerating their slaughtering processes to mitigate losses, resulting in a 3% increase in daily slaughter volumes post-holiday [6]. - The current market shows a decline in both the operating rates and slaughter volumes of sample enterprises, indicating insufficient consumer demand to absorb the increasing supply [6]. Future Market Outlook - The supply of live pigs remains excessive, and weak downstream demand is expected to keep prices under pressure, with short-term price fluctuations likely to continue [7]. - Seasonal demand may increase towards the end of the year, but the overall market is anticipated to maintain a trend of supply growth outpacing demand growth, with prices expected to remain low even during traditional peak seasons [7].
生猪期现价格跌至年内低位,产能过剩下生猪行业路在何方?
Qi Huo Ri Bao· 2025-10-20 01:40
Core Viewpoint - The recent decline in live pig prices indicates an oversupply in the market, driven by increased production capacity and insufficient reduction of breeding sows, making it difficult for prices to recover even with seasonal demand increases [2][3]. Price Trends - Since October, live pig prices have dropped significantly, with the average price falling to 12.90 yuan/kg, a decrease of 2.8% week-on-week and 29.5% year-on-year [1]. - Futures prices have also declined, with near-month contracts approaching 11,000 yuan/ton and a drop of over 9% since October [1]. Supply and Demand Dynamics - Analysts indicate that the supply of live pigs remains high, with significant outflow volumes leading to losses for enterprises, which is typical in cyclical industries [2]. - The market is currently experiencing a dual loss situation for both piglets and fattening pigs, with an increase in the sentiment to cull breeding sows, although the pace of capacity reduction is still below expectations [3][4]. Industry Response and Capacity Adjustment - The government has initiated measures to reduce breeding sow numbers, aiming for a decrease of 1 million by the end of the year, but the actual reduction has been limited, with many enterprises only making minor adjustments [4]. - Major companies like Muyuan Foods have responded positively to capacity reduction calls, but smaller firms have not shown significant reductions, leading to an overall slower pace of capacity adjustment in the industry [4]. Future Outlook - If the reduction in breeding sow capacity accelerates, it could lead to a decrease in fattening pig supply by August 2026, but the market may face oversupply until then [5]. - The price of live pigs is expected to fluctuate based on the rhythm of market supply and demand, with potential price points unlikely to exceed 14 yuan/kg or drop below 10 yuan/kg without panic selling [5].
