China's National Bureau of Statistics reported that live hog (three-way cross) prices averaged 9.3 yuan per kg in late October 2026, down 5.1% from mid-October. Of the 50 key production materials tracked, 17 rose, 28 fell and 5 were flat.
Falling hog prices signal weak pork demand and oversupply, which reduces farmers' appetite for feed and pressures feed ingredient demand in China. The bearish hog price trend is negative for feed buyers' demand outlook.
