Summary of Key Points from the Conference Call Industry Overview - The conference call primarily discusses the **pig farming industry** in China, focusing on the current state of pig prices, production capacity, and market dynamics related to breeding sows and piglets [1][2][3]. Core Insights and Arguments - **Pig Prices**: Pig prices have fallen below 14 RMB/kg, currently around 13.8 RMB/kg, due to unmet market expectations, concentrated slaughtering by major companies, and weak consumer demand. A rebound is anticipated, but prices are not expected to remain below 14 RMB for long [1][8][10]. - **Breeding Sow Sales**: Sales of breeding sows have shown a significant year-on-year decline of 24% in July, indicating a potential reduction in the number of sows among small-scale farmers, while larger farms maintain a slight increase [1][3]. - **Production Capacity**: The overall production capacity remains stable, with a slight decrease compared to the previous year. Small farms (under 5,000 sows) have seen a 1.1% decrease in capacity, while medium and large farms have experienced slight increases of 0.5% and 0.6%, respectively [1][7][14]. - **Government Policies**: The government aims to stabilize production capacity, with a target to maintain the breeding sow population around 39.5 million. A reduction of 1 million sows is planned, but the timeline is not yet defined [1][20][21]. Additional Important Content - **Export and Domestic Use**: Combined exports and domestic use of pigs have decreased by 20% year-on-year in July, reflecting a 7% decline from January to July compared to the previous year [5]. - **Cost and Profitability**: The current monitoring cost is approximately 14 RMB/kg, with most farms still profitable. However, if prices drop below 13.8 RMB/kg, some farms may start incurring losses [27][29]. - **Environmental Regulations**: Stricter environmental regulations are impacting the industry, requiring better waste management and potentially increasing production costs [22][24]. - **Future Supply and Demand**: Predictions indicate a slight increase in piglet numbers from October to January, but overall supply is expected to match demand. The price range for the upcoming months is projected to be between 14 and 16 RMB/kg [11][12]. - **Market Dynamics**: The market is experiencing a shift towards larger farms, with smaller farms struggling to maintain capacity. The trend indicates a consolidation in the industry, with larger players gaining market share [2][7][23]. Conclusion - The pig farming industry is currently facing challenges with falling prices and stricter regulations, but there are signs of potential recovery and consolidation among larger farms. The government's intervention and market dynamics will play crucial roles in shaping the future landscape of the industry [32].

Investment Rating - The industry investment rating is "Positive" (maintained) [2] Core Viewpoints - The rhythm of pig sales led to July pig prices rising less than expected, but the outlook for future prices remains optimistic. In July 2025, the national average selling price of live pigs was 14.55 yuan/kg, up 1.89% month-on-month but down 23.21% year-on-year. The slaughter volume in July was 4.1583 million heads, down 3.67% month-on-month but up 1.80% year-on-year. The completion rate of pig sales in July was 97.11% of the planned output, with an increase of 6.60% in planned output for August compared to July [6][15][22]. Summary by Sections Industry Overview - The increase in pig prices in July was less than expected due to the accelerated growth rate of pigs in May and June, leading to earlier sales in July. The price peaked at 15.46 yuan/kg on July 3 and fell to 14.09 yuan/kg by the end of July. The supply gap and supportive policies suggest a positive outlook for future prices [6][15][18]. Supply and Structure - As of August 7, 2025, the proportion of large pigs (over 150kg) in the sales structure decreased, while the proportion of breeding stock increased. The breeding stock increased by 0.52% month-on-month, and the average profit per head for self-breeding and self-raising in July was 101.66 yuan, a month-on-month increase of 304.30% [7][16][22]. Corporate Performance - In July 2025, 12 listed pig companies reported a total of 15.2799 million heads sold, a year-on-year increase of 24.82%.

Group 3: Core Viewpoints - In August, the supply of pigs from the breeding side is increasing, and the current enthusiasm for slaughter is fair.

[9] - In the short - term, the near - month 2509 futures contract of pigs will mainly fluctuate weakly following the spot price. In the long - term, the supply of pigs will increase slightly, while the 2511 and 2601 contracts belong to the peak - demand contracts, and their prices may fluctuate strongly. Policies such as the anti - involution initiative, high - quality development of the pig industry, and strengthened regional environmental protection are beneficial to the long - term performance of pig prices.

国家统计局数据显示，6月末全国存栏生猪4.24亿头，增长2.2%。其中能繁母猪存栏4043万头，为正常 保有量的103.7%，接近产能调控合理区域上限。同时，5月龄以上的中大猪存栏量和上半年全国新生仔 猪量均处于历史高位，这意味着下半年和明年春节后生猪出栏将明显增多。 农业农村部生猪产业监测预警专家朱增勇称："如果不及时采取产能调控，将有可能导致猪价在消费旺 季不旺，明年上半年尤其是春节后生猪养殖可能会出现亏损。" 当前，我国生猪产业正处于第6轮"猪周期"，随着生产效率持续提升和猪肉消费增长趋缓，生产大起大 落、价格大涨大跌风险依然存在。8月第1周猪价已降至每公斤14.53元，同比下降28.1%。为此，农业农 村部会商研判，将实施有效的生猪产能综合调控。按目前的生产和消费趋势，全国需要再调减约100万 头产能，能繁母猪总量保持在3950万头左右。 朱增勇称："引导生猪龙头企业发挥产能调控带头作用，合理淘汰能繁母猪，减少低质低效产能，适当 调减能繁母猪存栏。减少二次育肥，控制肥猪出栏体重，严控新增产能，避免盲目扩张'拼规模'，降低 后期生猪供过于求的市场风险，保障生猪价格和养殖收益的稳定。" 大型企业去产能 避 ...
