# Institution: Weekly Declines in Commodity Hog Prices Continue, Sow Culling May Have Further Room

> Average commodity hog prices fell 3.83% week on week to 9.03 yuan/kg as of October 30, nearing mid-April lows. Piglet prices dropped for eight straight weeks, and farms are losing money on both self-bred and purchased piglets. The sow-to-hog price ratio remains high at 0.71, suggesting more culling.

## Why it matters

Lower hog prices and heavy losses reduce farmers' appetite for restocking, cutting future feed demand. Continued sow culling supports a later price recovery, but near-term hog and feed-grain demand remains soft.
