Twenty-one listed Chinese hog producers reported October 2026 slaughter of 15.67 million head, down 14.63% year on year. Average sale prices fell below 10 yuan per kg, and the national average ex-farm price dropped to 8.63 yuan per kg in early November, a near-decade low.
Lower hog output cuts domestic meat supply and reflects reduced sow herds, which lowers future demand for feed grains and meal from China's hog sector. Falling hog prices also weaken producer margins, pressuring feed purchasing.
