The main reasons for the increase in the range of slaughter volume are: 1. Since the beginning of this year, the company has strengthened the whole process management of all aspects of pig farming and the efficiency indicators of all stages of pig farming are improved; it was 13.09% in the semester and 5.93% in July-November.
3. Summary
As the large pig enterprises have significantly accelerated their slaughter plans and the widening of the standard fertilizer price difference has prompted farmers and secondary fatteners to take advantage of the trend, the supply of live pigs on the market is increased significantly and some group companies cut prices and increased volume. Terminal consumption has currently improved, reflecting the strong cooling in the country, the demand for pork from residents is recovering and the situation of traditional cured meats is good, slaughterhouses have more orders for white strips and are more active in purchase of pork sources. Along with the optimization and adjustment of local epidemic prevention policies, catering consumption in various places has progressively shown signs of recovery. At present, the overall supply on the market is still relatively weak. The market outlook will focus on the strength of pork consumption from the supply side.
