In July, the liquidation of breeding sows accelerated, and the subsequent decline may either slow down or gradually fall back.

In July, the industry's capacity reduction intensified, with a wider decline in the stock of breeding sows, and the stock of live pigs turning from an increase to a decrease month-on-month. A combination of policy regulation, sluggish pig prices, and multiple factors including high temperatures and diseases has accelerated the elimination of breeding sows. Local heavy rains have caused losses in live pigs, while high temperatures have slowed the growth and market readiness of live pigs, with the existing stock of pigs offsetting the decline in inventory. Zhuochuang Information expects that in August, the stock of breeding sows and live pigs will continue to trend downward, but under the influence of various offsetting factors, the extent of the decline for both may narrow somewhat.
