Core Viewpoint - The pig futures market experienced a strong rebound after a period of decline, with the main contract closing at 12,155 yuan/ton, an increase of 2.88%. This rebound is attributed to market sentiment recovery and stabilization of short-term spot prices, although fundamental pressures in the industry remain significant, potentially limiting future price increases [1]. Group 1: Market Analysis - Analysts believe the recent price increase is due to the previous deep decline in pig futures prices, which left prices at relatively low levels. The stabilization in the spot market has led to bullish sentiment in the futures market [1]. - After the National Day holiday, spot prices for pigs dropped significantly, which stimulated terminal consumption and storage demand. Daily slaughter volumes have rebounded by 12% from post-holiday lows [2]. - The price gap between fat pigs and standard pigs continues to widen, and with decreasing temperatures, demand for fat pigs has increased. Additionally, there are expectations that large enterprises may reduce their slaughter volumes by the end of the month, which could boost short-term market expectations [1]. Group 2: Price Trends and Projections - Since October, spot prices for pigs have continued to decline, with some regions falling below 11 yuan/kg, exerting ongoing pressure on futures prices. The overall industry is actively reducing weights, with the pig-to-grain ratio quickly dropping to around 5:1 [2]. - The third quarter saw a weakening in breeding profits, leading to increased enthusiasm for large pig sales and a release of holding risks. Recent prices for piglets have fallen below 180 yuan/head, resulting in further losses for self-breeding operations [2]. - Looking ahead, the agricultural sector lacks effective positive factors post-National Day, with spot prices in the feed and breeding industry primarily declining. The futures market is expected to maintain a weak near-term and strong long-term structure due to significant pressure on near-term spot prices [2]. - Current data indicates that the national pig inventory at the end of the third quarter was 43.68 million heads, a year-on-year increase of 986,000 heads (2.3%) and a quarter-on-quarter increase of 1.233 million heads (2.9%), suggesting a production increase in the fourth quarter [3].

Group 1: Swine Industry - The rapid decline in pig prices has created a resistance to price drops, with secondary fattening entering the market causing a slight rebound, but the overall trend remains downward, and the entire industry is currently in a state of loss [2][3] - The average weight of pigs for slaughter this week is 128.25 kg per head, which remains in a historically high range, indicating that inventory levels have not significantly decreased despite falling prices [2][3] - In the coming months, pig slaughter is expected to increase month-on-month, and with enhanced control over secondary fattening, the seasonal accumulation space is limited, suggesting further downward pressure on pig prices [2][3] Group 2: Poultry Industry - As temperatures rise, the consumption of animal protein has been relatively weak, leading to continuous price adjustments in the poultry sector, with the overall industry showing signs of bottoming out [3] - The recent weak pricing environment has increased losses for slaughter enterprises, while the enthusiasm of farmers to sell has further pressured prices [3] - Yellow feather chicken prices have remained relatively strong due to improved downstream demand and supply contraction, indicating potential for better profitability as consumer demand gradually improves [3] Group 3: Cattle Industry - As of October 10, the price of live cattle in Shandong Province is 27.17 yuan/kg, showing a slight decrease of 0.11% month-on-month but an increase of 13.78% year-on-year, with expectations for steady price increases as the consumption peak season approaches [4] - The average purchase price for milk cows in major production areas is 3.04 yuan/kg, remaining stable month-on-month but down 2.08% year-on-year, with raw milk prices expected to stabilize and recover in the coming year [4] - Recent increases in calf and live cattle prices suggest the potential for a new cattle cycle, with the industry outlook expected to improve steadily [4] Group 4: Planting Industry - The recent harvest of new corn has caused some short-term price impacts, while ongoing negotiations regarding soybean imports between China and the U.S. create uncertainty in soybean prices [5] - The planting sector is expected to stabilize at the bottom, with the potential for improved conditions if there is a substantial reduction in grain production due to global weather disturbances [5] - The country continues to promote agricultural revitalization by increasing grain yields, which may enhance the planting industry's outlook [5]

1. Report Industry - The report focuses on the agricultural products industry, specifically covering sub - sectors such as pigs, corn, soybean meal, eggs, and sugar [1] 2. Core Views Pigs - Supply side: Planned pig出栏量 in sample enterprises may continue to increase significantly in October, with large supply pressure. Long - term, pig出栏量 may maintain a slight increase until the first half of next year. - Demand side: Secondary fattening has some replenishment demand, and terminal consumption may increase with cooler weather, but overall incremental demand is limited. - Overall: Spot prices may be volatile and weak, with a slight rebound due to secondary fattening demand. Futures contracts 2511 and 2601 may be weak due to spot weakness and secondary fattening出栏 expectations [56] Corn - Supply side: New crops are expected to increase in yield. With new corn harvest in October, supply increases, and costs decrease. Substitute advantages weaken, and future imports may remain low. - Demand side: Feed demand is good due to growing pig存栏, but inventory - building willingness is low. Deep - processing enterprises have turned profitable, with increased开工 rates and slightly higher inventories. - Overall: Spot prices may be volatile and weak, and futures contracts may oscillate around planting and collection costs [96][97] Soybean Meal - External market: The US government shutdown has led to a lack of information, and the external market may be in low - level oscillation. - Domestic market: High inventory is a reality, but there are potential positive factors such as reduced US soybean imports and potential yield adjustments. It is difficult to form a unilateral trend in the short - to - medium term [101][102] Eggs - Spot: After a sharp decline, prices rebounded slightly, but the rebound height and strength are limited. - Futures: After a sharp decline, they are in low - level oscillation, and overall, they are treated as a rebound with a short - bias. The fundamental inflection point may appear in early next year [136] Sugar - International market: Brazilian production data is slightly higher than expected, and with factors like falling oil prices and real depreciation, sugar prices are prone to fall. - Domestic market: New beet sugar is on the market, imports are expected to be high, and downstream demand is weak. Futures and spot prices are both weak [183][184] 3. Summary by Directory Pigs 1.

The processing profit of starch enterprises improved, and the inventory of deep - processing enterprises increased [89][90] - Supply - demand Balance Sheet: In the 2025/26 season, China's corn production is expected to increase slightly, consumption is basically flat, and imports are reduced by 100 million tons to 6 million tons [94][95] Soybean Meal 1. Weekly Review and Operation Suggestions - Spot: Coastal soybean meal prices showed mixed changes, with prices ranging from 2920 to 3020 yuan/ton. - Futures: The external market was in low - level oscillation due to the government shutdown. The domestic market was relatively weak compared to the external market, and it is difficult to form a unilateral trend in the short - to - medium term [100][102] 2. Core Points - Soybean planting: The USDA September report adjusted new - season US soybean planting and production data. The US soybean harvest is in progress, and the Brazilian soybean planting progress is fast [103][105] - US soybean exports: As of September 18, new - season US soybean exports were at a historically low level, and subsequent exports depend on Sino - US agreements [112] - Domestic soybean imports and crushing: As of October 16, the crushing profit was negative.

Core Viewpoint - The recent increase in pig prices, which has risen for three consecutive days, is attributed to new variables despite existing pressures on production capacity and weak consumption [2]. Group 1: Factors Influencing Price Increase - The onset of significant temperature drops across most regions is expected to boost meat consumption, prompting farmers to capitalize on this opportunity [4]. - The pig prices have fallen to a four-year low, triggering a bottom-fishing sentiment among farmers, as many are reluctant to sell at such low prices [5]. - There are expectations for increased consumption in the fourth quarter, as historically, this period sees the highest pork consumption of the year, despite current weak demand [6]. Group 2: Market Dynamics and Future Outlook - Despite the recent price increases, the overall market conditions remain unchanged, with high production capacity, high stock levels, and weak consumption persisting [8]. - The likelihood of further significant price declines is limited, as the market has reached a new low, and farmers are showing increased resistance to selling at lower prices [8]. - The ongoing capacity reduction remains a primary focus, indicating that the market may experience prolonged low prices into the next year, regardless of short-term fluctuations [10].

Group 1: Investment Rating - There is no information about the industry investment rating in the report. Group 2: Core Viewpoints - The current supply pressure in the pig market remains significant, with high inventory levels and large weights of pigs for slaughter. The spot price of live pigs rebounded slightly today, but the overall scale of enterprise slaughter volume decreased slightly and remained at a high level. The slaughter volume this month continued to increase, and there was still pressure to meet the previous progress. The enthusiasm of ordinary farmers to sell pigs is expected to remain relatively stable. Secondary fattening has started to show signs of entry, providing some support to prices. However, considering the high inventory and large weights of pigs, the supply pressure in the pig market is expected to persist, and the spot price is likely to decline in the future. The futures price of live pigs has dropped significantly, and the supply pressure remains. The limited rebound space of the spot price has also reduced its impact on the futures market. The far - month futures contracts are under pressure, and the overall futures market is expected to face certain downward pressure, with short - term price fluctuations and long - term downward trends [4][6]. Group 3: Summary by Category 1. Spot Price - The average spot price of live pigs today was 10.85 yuan/kg, up 0.2 yuan/kg from yesterday. Prices increased in all regions, with the largest increase of 0.2 yuan/kg in Guangdong and Yunnan [4]. 2. Futures Price - All futures contracts declined. LH01 decreased by 290 yuan to 11905 yuan, LH03 decreased by 125 yuan to 11540 yuan, LH05 decreased by 145 yuan to 12140 yuan, LH07 decreased by 205 yuan to 12925 yuan, LH09 decreased by 170 yuan to 13755 yuan, and LH11 decreased by 235 yuan to 11165 yuan [4]. 3. Piglet and Sow Prices - The price of piglets this week was 173 yuan, down 10 yuan from last week. The price of sows was 1545 yuan, down 18 yuan from last week [4]. 4. Breeding Profit - The profit from self - breeding and self - raising was - 152.15 yuan/head, down 47.23 yuan from yesterday. The profit from purchasing piglets for fattening was - 301.04 yuan/head, down 41.63 yuan from yesterday [4]. 5. Slaughter Volume - The slaughter volume today was 163263 heads, an increase of 999 heads from yesterday [4]. 6. Price Spread - The price spread between different futures contracts changed. For example, LH7 - 9 decreased by 35 to - 830, LH9 - 1 increased by 120 to 1850, LH9 - 11 increased by 65 to 2590, and LH11 - 1 increased by 55 to - 740. The price spread between large and small pigs also increased, with the spread between standard pigs and medium - sized pigs increasing by 0.02 to 0.43, the spread between medium - large pigs and standard pigs increasing by 0.01 to 0.22, the spread between large pigs and medium - large pigs increasing by 0.04 to 0.52, and the spread between large pigs and standard pigs increasing by 0.05 to 0.74 [4]. 7. Trading Strategy - Unilateral trading: Adopt a bearish strategy for near - month contracts. - Arbitrage: Conduct a reverse spread on LH15. - Options: Hold off on trading [7].

Core Viewpoint - The domestic live pig market has shown signs of rebound in recent days, with prices stabilizing after a significant decline, although short to medium-term pressures remain evident due to oversupply [1][2][3] Price Trends - The live pig futures price fell over 12% in October, reaching a low of 11,120 yuan/ton, following a decline of 11.36% in September [1][2] - On October 15, the average pig price in Guangdong was reported at 4.98:1, entering a warning zone for excessive decline [2] - The national average pig price saw a slight increase of 0.01 yuan/kg on October 14 and further rose by 0.11 yuan/kg on October 15, surpassing 11 yuan/kg [3] Supply and Demand Dynamics - Increased supply from breeding farms and insufficient demand have led to a rapid decline in pig prices since September [2] - The market is currently experiencing a supply surplus, with significant outflows from major breeding enterprises [5][7] Market Sentiment and Investment - Recent inflows into livestock breeding ETFs indicate market optimism regarding short-term price stabilization and long-term industry potential [5] - Analysts suggest that the ongoing policy measures aimed at controlling production capacity and reducing weights will support a long-term price increase [7][9] Future Outlook - The industry is expected to enter a capacity reduction cycle, with potential price increases anticipated in the second half of next year [7][9] - Short-term price pressures are likely to persist due to high production levels and reduced consumer demand post-holidays [9][10]

Core Viewpoint - The fourth quarter is expected to experience a "旺季不旺" (peak season not prosperous) situation in the pig industry, despite entering the consumption peak season, due to various factors affecting supply and demand [1] Supply Side - The number of breeding sows is showing a slight downward trend, and it is anticipated to continue decreasing in the fourth quarter [1] - The slaughter levels for the fourth quarter are becoming clearer, with an expected increase in pork supply due to higher slaughter volumes and weight factors [1] Demand Side - Although the fourth quarter typically marks a peak consumption period, the support for demand may not meet expectations [1] - There is a tendency for secondary fattening to lean towards net slaughter during this period [1] Environmental Factors - The La Niña phenomenon is expected to influence weather patterns, leading to drought in the south and flooding in the north, with a high probability of increased rainfall in winter [1]

Core Viewpoint - The pork price is experiencing a downward trend, reaching new lows, with concerns about potentially falling below 13 yuan/kg. However, there is a belief that prices may stabilize by the end of September if the market can withstand the mid-month pressures [2]. Group 1: Supply Risks - The official target is to reduce the breeding pig capacity to below 39 million heads by the end of the year, while the breeding sow capacity was still at 40.42 million heads as of the end of July, indicating a tight timeline for adjustments [4]. - The concentration of the pig farming industry has increased significantly after previous capacity reductions, making the actions of leading companies more impactful on the market. Typically, there is a tightening of supply at the beginning and end of the month, with increased supply expected mid-month, leading to potential price declines [5]. - There is a risk of supply pressure due to the ongoing production capacity adjustments and the need to manage the market effectively [2]. Group 2: Demand Dynamics - Although there has been a slight improvement in pork consumption with the cooling weather, it is still far from the expected peak consumption season, indicating that demand has not significantly rebounded [6]. - The increase in supply from large enterprises, coupled with sluggish demand, poses a significant challenge for small and medium-sized farmers, potentially pushing some out of the market [6]. - The upcoming double festival at the end of the month is expected to provide a temporary boost to market consumption, which may influence market sentiment positively [6]. Group 3: Market Adjustments - The pace of reducing the weight of pigs for slaughter is slowing down, which means that the market supply of pork may decrease, alleviating some supply pressure [8]. - There has been a rise in secondary fattening practices, which, despite official controls, are expected to increase as the consumption season approaches, further tightening the supply pressure [9]. - With a reduction in supply and an anticipated increase in demand, there is a possibility for pork prices to stabilize or even see a slight increase, especially as the peak consumption season approaches in October [11].

Summary of the Conference Call on the Swine Industry Industry Overview - The conference call focuses on the swine industry, particularly the breeding and production of pigs in China, with insights into market trends, pricing, and regulatory impacts [1][2][3]. Key Points and Arguments Breeding Stock and Production Capacity - The breeding sow inventory remains stable, with variations across different scales of farms. Group farms show a slight decrease, while medium-sized farms are experiencing a stable increase. Smallholders show little change [1][2][3]. - Future trends indicate a potential decline in breeding sow inventory, suggesting that production capacity lacks sustained growth momentum [1][9]. Market Weight and Pricing - The average weight of pigs at market is 127.8 kg, a slight decrease from July but an increase compared to the previous year. Group farms and medium-sized farms have seen a decrease in market weight, while smallholders have increased their market weight [10]. - The price of piglets has recently dropped from over 400 RMB to around 330 RMB, but many producers expect a rebound, leading to stable production levels [6]. Regulatory Impact - Stricter environmental policies have been implemented this year, increasing compliance requirements for farms. However, these have not yet led to significant closures or license revocations, allowing most long-term operators to remain in business [7]. - New regulatory measures, such as stricter interprovincial transportation checks, have negatively impacted prices in regions with high supply, such as Guangdong, where prices have dropped significantly [14][15]. Disease and Market Dynamics - The epidemic situation in Guangxi is primarily linked to border areas and ports, with minimal impact on group farm production capacity. The overall epidemic situation has stabilized [16][17]. - The second fattening phase this year is less than last year, driven more by market conditions than policy changes. A concentrated second fattening wave is expected in early October to meet demand for the upcoming festive season [18][19]. Financial Health of Medium-sized Farms - Medium-sized farms are currently in a relatively good financial position, with some maintaining profitability despite increased loan difficulties and environmental scrutiny. This group is crucial for future production capacity [2][22][23]. Future Market Expectations - The fourth-quarter market is expected to be influenced by current weight control measures and the upcoming second fattening phase. Producers are cautious about future price movements, with some indicating a potential reduction in the scale of future fattening due to financial constraints [20][21]. Additional Important Insights - The price of culling sows is closely tied to market prices, with an increase in culling volumes noted in August, particularly among larger farms [12]. - The overall sentiment among producers is cautious, with many not optimistic about significant price increases in the near term due to previous losses and current market conditions [20][21].
