The national pig price declined slightly last week, and the price difference between the South and the North continued. Most northern provinces saw gentle decrease in pig prices as a large number of hogs in the Southwest were sold at low prices and moved to the North, which brought down the pig prices in the North. African swine fever in Guangdong and Guangxi was relieved, and pig prices in these areas rebounded. It’s predicted that the pig prices may continue to decline in areas hit by the disease, remain stable in the North, and fluctuate nationwide.
