China’s average pig price continued to rise this week, showing a growth in the South and a decline in the North. The news that reserved reserve will be put on the market on August 29 has had a greater impact on the market. More pigs were marketed, resulting in the decline of pig prices. However, in the main sales area of the South, pig prices continued to rise due to tighter supply, and the price has exceeded 30yuan/kg in Guangdong. The coming Mid-Autumn Festival next week will boost pork consumption. Fujian, Guangxi, Hainan and other southern areas have introduced pork subsidy polices, pig prices are very possible to rise continuously due to insufficient supply of pork. It’s predicted that pig prices will stop dropping and rebound in the North, and the national average price will continue to rise next week.
