In the second half of the year, is the price of pigs falling or stabilizing?

First, the reason why prices do not fall, but most experts believe that there are four reasons why the price of pigs does not fall or rebound after the Spring Festival:

First, the tightness of live pigs. The pre-holiday centralized slaughter resulted in a reduction in stocks and a decrease in the number of pigs.

The second is the high cost of raising pigs. The continuous increase in the price of corn, coupled with the increase in labor costs and raw material costs, has driven the increase in pig prices after the holiday.

Third, the disease has a greater impact. Epidemic diarrhea and highly pathogenic blue ear disease have resulted in a large number of current sows, but the number of litters has decreased. This trend is expected to continue for some time.

Fourth, the acquisition enthusiasm is high. At present, slaughter companies have a large profit margin, and in particular, larger-scale flesh-linked plants can better reflect economies of scale. Although the purchase prices are high, they have little impact on the company's operating production.

Second, in the first half of the pig price is very difficult to fall The experts believe that the current piglet population is also less, coupled with the current upward pressure on prices, it is expected that the pig price increase time may last about 2 months, if the disease is not properly controlled, the duration It may increase to 6 months.
