# China hog prices dip pre-holiday as supply pressure… — WorldAttention

> China's live hog prices fell 0.5% week on week to 11.48 yuan/kg in the third week of September 2026, while wholesale pork prices rose 0.7% to 16.40 yuan/kg on holiday stocking. The breeding sow herd stood at 37.8 million head at end-Q2, down 6.5% year on year. Analysts expect limited Q4 price gains as farming efficiency offsets capacity cuts.
