# Hog capacity reduction accelerates; agriculture and livestock stocks rise against the market

> China’s hog prices were reported at 9.07 yuan per kilogram on November 2, while average slaughter weight rose to 129.87 kilograms and the price of 7-kilogram piglets fell below 100 yuan per head. Analysts said continued farm losses and policy-driven capacity reductions were accelerating herd adjustment, with one forecast putting a possible hog-price turning point in the fourth quarter of 2026.

## Why it matters

Ongoing herd reduction could eventually tighten pork supply and support hog prices, though rising slaughter weights and near-term marketing pressure may delay that effect. Lower piglet and hog prices also signal weak near-term demand for feed ingredients.
