Adequate production capacity combined with insufficient demand may continue to weigh down the hog market in the first half of the year.

According to Securities Times, as the lunar new year approaches, the pig farming industry has entered the traditional peak season. However, with the current market still oversupplied, the trend of pig prices remains weak. Recent data disclosed by listed companies in the pig farming industry for December 2025 shows that in the past year, most pig companies have seen a year-on-year decline in selling prices and revenue, with some falling by as much as thirty percent. Industry analysts point out that although policies to "reverse internal competition" in the livestock industry continue to be implemented, the contradiction of oversupply and insufficient demand in the pig market has not fundamentally changed. In the first half of 2026, the supply-side pressure in the pig farming industry will still exist, and although the market is expected to gradually improve in the third quarter, the overall price level for the year will not be significantly higher than that of 2025.
