Previously affected by factors such as festivals, weather and epidemics, the wholesale price of pork in the domestic pork market ushered in a wave of small spikes and peaked after falling for several months. According to the market monitoring data of the Ministry of Commerce, within three weeks after the entry of January, the weekly wholesale price of pork in the domestic pork market once increased from 46.77 yuan / kg to 47.47 yuan / kg, and returned to 45.8 yuan / kg at the end of January.

“The main reason for the drop in pig prices is more demand.” According to Feng Yonghui, an analyst at Sozhu.com, the peak demand for bacon in the south was completed before the beginning of January, while the demand for pig slaughter in the north entered the twelfth lunar month and started gradually later, so current pork prices in all provinces have generally fallen.

At the same time, the continued recovery of live pig production capacity has also continued to fill the supply gap caused by the African swine fever epidemic and mitigate the contradiction between market supply and demand. According to the National Statistical Bulletin, although in 2020 522.04 million pigs will be slaughtered nationwide, 17.15 million less than in 2019; pig production is 41.13 million tons, a decrease of 1.42 million tons compared to 2019.

At that time, live pig populations achieved 5 consecutive quarter-on-quarter growths.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has recently calculated that the number of live pigs for slaughter from January to February of this year will increase by approximately 25% compared to the same period of the previous year, and there will be room for a drop in prices. of the pig. in the later period. Looking at short-term pork price trends, Sozhu.com analysts believe that pork prices will hardly rise in view of the unfavorable market. After the previous increase in the price of pork, farmers and companies in many places started a new round of sales and the acquisition of slaughter companies went smoothly. There are still more small-weight pigs, and the impact on the market has made it difficult to sustain price increases, especially in the south. The price of hogs in the north is expected to remain stable, and the price of hogs in the south will continue to fall.Return to Sohu to see more
