# Listed Pig Companies’ October Sales Diverge as Capacity Reduction May Accelerate

> Chinese listed hog producers reported mixed October sales volumes, while reported hog prices generally fell 6%–10% month over month to about 9.5–9.8 yuan per kilogram. Producers remain deeply loss-making; data cited by analysts show breeding-sow inventories have declined for nine consecutive months, with the October drop accelerating, and some analysts expect herd reductions to pick up if losses persist.

## Why it matters

Continued losses and sow liquidation could eventually reduce hog and pork supply, supporting live-hog prices, though the near-term market remains well supplied and prices weak. Lower hog prices also weigh on feed demand as producers cut or delay production.
