In 2022, China experienced a significant downturn in pig prices, with costs per kilogram falling to 11.98 yuan in March, leading to substantial financial losses for producers. This period of loss extended back to the second quarter of 2021. However, starting in April, prices began to recover, reaching a peak of 28.46 yuan per kilogram in October. Despite reports of recovered production and stable supply, the price increase was attributed to decreased production due to liquidations. In December, China lifted pandemic control policies, resulting in a drop in pig prices due to decreased demand. Despite these challenges, there was an increase in pig prices leading up to the Lunar New Year, indicating a potential recovery in consumer demand.
