Official data showed China’s hog slaughter in the first three quarters of 2026 rose 1.4% year over year, while pork production increased 3.2%. At the end of the third quarter, hog inventories were down 2.6% and breeding sows were down 10.7% year over year, with regional production trends mixed.
Higher current output adds near-term pork supply, while the sharp decline in breeding sows points to potential future supply tightening. That may weigh on prices now but provide support farther ahead.
