# SunSirs: National Bureau of Statistics – China Pork Prices Fell 13.4% from January to July

> China's National Bureau of Statistics reported national retail pork prices fell 13.4% year on year from January to July. July pork prices were down 13.3% year on year but rose 4.1% month on month. The decline reflects high breeding-sow capacity, a high prior-year base and weak end-market demand.

## Why it matters

Persistent weak pork prices signal ample hog supply and poor producer margins, which keeps feed demand subdued. The July month-on-month rise hints at only a short-term rebound.
