Summary of Industry Research Reports on Livestock and Agriculture Industry Overview - The reports focus on the livestock and agriculture sectors, particularly the pig farming, poultry, seed industry, and pet food markets in China. Key Points 1. Pig Farming Industry - Profit Recovery: The pig farming sector is expected to focus on profitability in 2024, benefiting from rising pig prices and decreasing feed costs. Profitability began in Q2 2024, peaking in August [1][2][130]. - Supply Dynamics: As of September 2024, the breeding stock has shown a positive month-on-month growth for four consecutive months, indicating a gradual recovery in pig production capacity. However, slaughter volumes have decreased by 2.9% year-on-year due to previous capacity reductions [2][15][130]. - Price Outlook: The average pig price reached a high of 21.19 CNY/kg in mid-August 2024, with expectations of slight downward pressure on prices in 2025 due to increased supply [15][130]. - Recommendations: Key companies to watch include Muyuan Foods, Wens Foodstuff Group, and Tangrenshen [2][130]. 2.
