1. The price of pork has been continuously falling for two months during the traditional strong period, with a decline of more than 20%; 2. Behind the decline is the increase in slaughter caused by the expansion of piglets and the concentrated slaughter in the second fattening, forming a downward momentum together; 3. If the pork price in the fourth quarter is not good during the peak season, the pig cycle may either rise directly or come to an end. If the pork price realizes an upward pig cycle, pig enterprises and the breeding industry are still expected to have a prosperous year in 2025.
