牧原股份（002714）董事长秦英林在官方会议上已经透露了其落实产能调控的主要做法。一是减少能繁 母猪存栏。在已经减少17万头的基础上,计划再减少13万头,到年底前减到330万头。二是下调肥猪出栏均 重。目前头均重125公斤，比5月末下降5公斤,计划7月底降至123公斤,8月底降至120公斤。三是控制二次 育肥。从6月初起,全面停止向二次育肥客户销售肥猪。 新希望在6月份也曾表示,公司严控销售流程,对商品猪只开屠宰类检疫票,不对二次育肥客户渠道销售商 品猪。 生猪行业去产能大幕拉开。农业农村部最新调度显示，当前，我国生猪产能阶段性偏高，为防范生产大 起大落、价格大涨大跌风险，将实施生猪产能综合调控，引导调减约100万头能繁母猪。 能繁母猪存栏是生猪供应的"总开关"，直接决定10个月后的商品猪出栏规模，若调减能繁母猪存量，10 个月后生猪出栏量将相应减少。这意味着，下半年和明年春节后生猪出栏将明显增加，由于生猪的自然 生长周期，从现在开始调减能繁母猪产能，调控效果将于10个月后落地。 在国内猪肉弱需求、强供给的背景下，年内生猪价格持续走低，尤其是进入7月猪肉消费淡季以来，消 费不振使得猪价进一步走低。中国养猪网 ...

Core Viewpoint - The current pig market is experiencing pressure on output, which will impact prices. The industry is undergoing capacity regulation, and maintaining pig prices is expected to be a long-term task. Medium to long-term pig prices will mainly be influenced by changes in production capacity, with potential for price increases if capacity reduction is significant. Continuous observation of policy sustainability and implementation effects is necessary [1][4]. Industry Overview - The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has indicated that China's pig production capacity is currently high, prompting a comprehensive adjustment to reduce about 1 million breeding sows to prevent extreme fluctuations in production and prices [1][2]. - As of June, the national pig inventory was 424 million heads, with breeding sows at 40.43 million, slightly above the reasonable capacity limit. This suggests an increase in pig output in the second half of the year and after the Spring Festival next year [3][4]. - The current pig cycle is characterized by shorter cycles, increased short-term volatility, and strong production capacity, with a supply-demand imbalance leading to weak demand and strong supply [4]. Price Trends - As of August 10, domestic pig prices reached a new low of 13.77 yuan/kg, down approximately 13.9% from the beginning of the year and below the industry's breakeven point. The price drop is attributed to weak demand during the traditional summer consumption lull [3][5]. - The price of pigs has decreased from about 21.3 yuan/kg in the third quarter of last year to 13.77 yuan/kg, marking a cumulative decline of 35.3% [5].

For instance, Muyuan Foods reported a net profit of 3.208 billion yuan in Q2 2024, but saw a decline in performance in subsequent quarters due to falling prices [5][6]. - In July, major pig companies like Muyuan, Wens Foodstuffs, and New Hope reported significant declines in sales volume and revenue, with Muyuan's sales volume dropping to a new low since March [6][7]. - The sales revenue for these companies in July decreased significantly, with Muyuan's revenue down 10.41% year-on-year, and Wens and New Hope also experiencing declines [6][7]. Future Outlook - The policy of capacity regulation aims to stabilize the industry and reduce price volatility, potentially leading to a more concentrated market with larger, more efficient producers benefiting from improved profit margins [2][7]. - The industry is expected to transition from high volatility to a more stable and high-quality development phase, with a focus on cost control and cash flow capabilities among leading companies [2][7].
