China's first-quarter pork production rose 31.9% year on year to 13.69 million tonnes as the hog herd rebuilt to 415.95 million head. Average slaughter weights were lower, pointing to farmer liquidation.

Rising Chinese pork output and wheat feeding support wheat demand while reducing reliance on corn and soymeal imports. The herd rebuild increases the need for feed over time.
