AHDB reports that China's pork output rose 4.2% year on year in the first quarter of 2026 on productivity gains, while liveweight and wholesale prices eased below year-ago levels. Pork and offal imports are declining as domestic oversupply and weak demand persist, and the government is working to cut the sow herd to 36.5 million head.
Persistent Chinese oversupply lowers import demand for pork and weighs on hog prices, reducing the need for imported feed inputs. The government's herd-cutting policy could eventually tighten supply, but the near-term price outlook remains soft.
