At present, the price of live pigs in our country is basically maintained at the average price of about 17 yuan. Compared with November, the price will be slightly lowered. Compared with the first half of the year, the price will rise a lot. This is mainly due to the impact of African swine fever, the number of pigs has decreased sharply.

After entering December, the number of live pigs in various places has increased, and the price of live pigs has been lowered after rising continuously before. At present, most provinces are still showing a small increase. According to the national trend, the price of live pigs in the south is higher than that in the north, and the supply of live pigs is less. According to these market dynamics, pig prices should remain at their current levels in 2020, without a sharp downward trend.
