Rabobank's Q3 Pork Quarterly projects global pork output falling 8%, with China down 17%, the Philippines down 9% and Vietnam down 8% to 11%. US pork production is expected to rise 1.3%.
Chinese live hog prices have risen sharply on tight supply, while US hog prices are down 41% year on year.
Lower global pork output cuts competing meat supply and supports demand for feed grains and meals, while China's tight hog supply keeps feed demand firm.
