# NDRC: Hog Farming Loses 354 Yuan per Head, Broiler Farming Loses 0.7 Yuan per Bird, While Layer Farming Earns 13 Yuan per Bird

> China's National Development and Reform Commission reported that estimated pig-fattening losses widened to 353.76 yuan per head, while broiler losses narrowed to 0.70 yuan per bird. Layer farms were estimated to earn 13.15 yuan per bird as egg prices rose; hog and broiler supply conditions remained relatively ample, with demand subdued for pork.

## Why it matters

Weak pork demand and ample hog supply weigh on hog prices and producer margins, while limited chicken availability offers some support to chicken prices. Better egg prices and reduced supply pressure improve layer-sector returns.
