China's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs said at a State Council Information Office briefing that H1 2024 output of pigs, cattle, sheep and poultry rose 0.6%, egg production 2.7% and milk 3.4% year on year. Hog farmers are profitable again at about 400 yuan per pig, while beef and fresh milk prices fell 12.1% and 12.5% and cattle farming is loss-making.
Ample livestock supply and rising hog margins point to continued herd rebuilding in China, supporting feed demand, while low beef and milk prices weigh on cattle and dairy economics.
