Sixteen listed Chinese pig producers reported combined net losses exceeding 28 billion yuan in the first three quarters, as the sector endured 37 consecutive weeks of losses. National breeding-sow inventories were down 10.7% year over year to 36.02 million at quarter-end, and a company executive said hog prices might reach a turning point around the 2027 Lunar New Year.
Sustained losses and a smaller sow herd raise the prospect of further capacity reductions, which could tighten hog supplies and support prices later. Weak current hog economics and herd contraction weigh on near-term feed demand.
