China's 2022 pork output rose 4.6% to 55.41 million tonnes, with USDA forecasting a small further increase in 2023. Hog prices fell from about 36 yuan/kg in October 2022 to 20 yuan/kg in February 2023, before stabilising after state frozen-pork purchases.
Low hog prices and expanding supply reduce Chinese hog-farmer margins and feed demand, which is bearish for soymeal and feed grain demand while pork imports remain well below 2021 levels.
