但为啥猪价没啥反应呢？ 原因出在消费上。 市场都说消费不及预期，其实今年猪肉消费还可以，一方面是宏观经济在慢慢恢复，另一方面呢，就是今年的猪肉确实便宜。 所以其实腌腊、灌肠的也并不是特别弱，而且有部分肉店反映，有的已经开始囤过年的猪肉了。原因就是因为现在猪肉价格便宜，担心后续大家都开始囤 货，肉价就会上涨。 所以你看，这个消费并不是没有，而是分散了。 现在就有囤肉的了，过年肯定就要少囤了，里外里这个消费就变得不那么集中了。 所以现在虽然标肥价差有走扩的迹象，但是下游消费量还没起来，猪价也就涨得墨墨叽叽的。 盼了好几天，终于官方11月的数据出来了，不过产能数据还没出来，但是生猪定点屠宰量出来了。 11月全国生猪定点屠宰量为3957万头，环比10月份增长了3.2%，同比则增长了17.4%。 单看这两个数据其实都不算高，因为之前几个月，无论是环比还是同比，增幅都要更高。 但现在已经是11月的数据了，12月预计也依然是增量的趋势，所以全年看下来，今年的猪那真叫一个多啊。 猪多，就是生猪市场最大的压力，所以猪价想抬头，那叫一个费劲。 不过经过前一轮的卖猪以后，市场也出现了一些空隙，就是所谓的中大猪出多了，现在有点不够了 ...

Summary of the Pig Farming Industry Conference Call Industry Overview - The pig farming industry in 2025 is experiencing multiple changes, including a decrease in the proportion of smallholders to about 10%, accelerated integration of feed companies into pig farming, increased government regulation on production capacity, and continuous improvement in production efficiency with stable growth in PSY (Pigs Weaned per Sow per Year) data. However, the industry is facing overall losses [1][2]. Key Points Market Dynamics - In 2025, pig prices are expected to rise initially but decline later, with profitability in the first half of the year. By the end of September, the industry began to incur losses, with self-breeding costs around 6-6.1 CNY/kg and market prices dropping to 5.6-5.7 CNY/kg [1][4]. - The number of breeding sows has increased by 1% according to official data, while Yongyi's data shows an 8% increase, indicating significant supply pressure and a year-on-year price drop of at least 6 CNY/kg [1][5]. Changes in Industry Structure - The market share of large-scale enterprises has increased, with listed companies holding 30% of the breeding sow inventory and pig output. The definition of smallholders has changed, with those producing fewer than 200 pigs per year now representing only about 10% of the market [2]. - Integration of feed, breeding, and slaughtering industries is accelerating, with companies like Bangji entering pig farming and collaborating with farmers [2]. Policy and Production Efficiency - The government has intensified regulatory measures since June 2025, holding monthly meetings with leading companies to address declining pig prices and industry losses [2]. - Production efficiency is improving, with PSY data indicating an increase. Official PSY is reported at 22, while Yongyi's data shows 24, with an annual growth rate of about 0.7-0.8 pigs [2][3]. Future Price Expectations - It is anticipated that in the first half of 2026, pig prices will remain below cost, potentially leading to a reduction in production capacity. However, the piglet market still holds profit potential, with piglet prices around 200 CNY for 7 kg weaned piglets against a cost of 260-280 CNY [7]. - If production capacity decreases in the first half of 2026, a price rebound may occur in the second half, with increased price volatility expected next year [7]. Weight and Market Performance - Current average weights for pig output are 129.7 kg for Yongyi data, with a slight decrease from the previous week. Group farms maintain an average weight of 124.34 kg, while smallholders average 147.65 kg [8]. - In December 2025, there was no significant reduction in weight for group farms, contrasting with the previous year when weight reductions began [9]. Differentiation Between Smallholders and Large Farms - Smallholders have reduced numbers due to past disease losses but have increased output weights. In contrast, large-scale farms focus on standard pigs, leading to a widening price gap between fat pigs and standard pigs [10]. Impact of Seasonal Consumption - The influence of seasonal consumption on pig prices has diminished, with limited price increases observed before the winter solstice [12]. Overall Market Outlook - The overall performance in 2025 is considered moderate, with self-breeding operations yielding a profit of about 1 CNY/kg, while external piglet purchases are generally at a loss. The profit outlook for 2026 is expected to resemble that of 2023 [14]. - The certainty of production capacity reduction in the first half of 2026 is high, with smallholders and medium-sized farms expected to be the main contributors to this reduction [15][16]. Production Efficiency and Disease Impact - Future PSY growth is expected to slow to 0.3-0.5 pigs, with many medium-sized farms planning to upgrade to better-performing sow breeds [18]. - In a low-price environment, low-cost producers have a competitive advantage, and while disease impacts are present, they are not as severe as in previous years [19].
