Last Updated: 2024/11/06, National Development and Reform Commission: some farmers are losing money when the price of pig grain falls below the break-even point.

According to the news released on the website of the National Development and Reform Commission on the 13th, as of March 6, the average price of live pigs across the country has fallen by 16.17% since late January, the price of pig grain has fallen below the national average break-even point, and some farmers have suffered significant losses.

Since late January, affected by the cyclical fluctuation of pig production and the decrease of seasonal consumption demand, the relationship between supply and demand in pig market is becoming more and more loose, and the price continues to fall.

As of March 6, the national average price of live pigs was 14.52 yuan per kilogram (which has fallen to less than 12 yuan in some areas), down 3.26% from last week (February 27) and 16.17% since late January. The specific price of pig grain fell to 5.95 ∶ 1, falling below the national average break-even point of 6 ∶ 1, and entered the blue warning area set by the "Regulation and Control Plan for alleviating the Periodic fluctuation of Pig Market Price", and some farmers suffered obvious losses.

From the point of view of the stock column, the current pig production capacity in China is on the high side, and the market supply exceeds demand may continue for some time. It is suggested that the broad masses of pig farmers should adjust the breeding structure reasonably and reduce the filling column appropriately according to the changes of market prices, so as to avoid large losses.

At present, the relevant state departments are paying close attention to the changes in pig production and market prices in strict accordance with the provisions of the regulation and control plan, and will launch the regulation and control plan in due course according to the market situation to prevent the excessive fall in pig prices, avoid large-scale losses in pig farming, and strive to alleviate the periodic fluctuations in pig production and market prices.
