[Livestock and Fisheries News=Reporter Hong Jeong-min] The price of pigs this month is expected to form between 5,600 and 5,800 won per kg (excluding Jeju), according to the Korea Meat Distribution and Export Association. During the pig market trend conference held on the 12th, it was anticipated that there would be a demand for kimchi soon, but it is not expected to be as large as before.

According to the Korea Pig Association, as of September last year, the number of sows registered in the pig farm computer system was 773,828 heads, compared to the same period last year.
