# China's hog prices fall while US pork exports lose momentum in major markets

> Chinese live hog prices fell on abundant supply and weak purchasing power. US pork exports in August fell 6% in volume and 12% in value year on year to 222,243 tons, led by lower shipments to Mexico, which was affected by screwworm restrictions introduced in May 2026.
