On 27 march 2026, “the national price of pigs has fallen by five dollars”, which led to a sharp drop in the price of raw pigs throughout the country, has led to the hearts of many farmers and ordinary people。
According to the latest information, the price of raw pigs in the country has generally fallen to 4-5 yuan per pound at the moment, and in many regions the price of pigs is as low as more than 4 yuan, which has reached a new low in recent years. But you know, the cost of raising a pig is $7. 5 per pound, which means that each pig sold by a farmer is worth more than $500. Starting last october, the pig farming industry has been losing for months, and many farmers are struggling to sleep。
Why would a pig fall so hard? In fact, the white word is that the supply is greater than the demand. In the last two years, the price of pigs has been good, many people have piled up to raise them, which has led to a concentration of raw pigs now, too many pigs in the market, and the demand for pork has become smaller in the years to come。
For us ordinary people, it's a good thing that the price of pigs falls, saves a lot of money for pork, lowers the cost of everyday food and reduces the cost of living. For farmers, this is a serious problem, and the more they lose, many of them are already struggling to survive, even in large farms。
One level of warning of excessive pork fall has been initiated in the relevant sectors, which also points to the importance of the low price of pigs. Here, too, it would be interesting to remind farmers of the need to expand the field blindly at this stage, to ensure cost control, to focus more on market conditions and policy developments, and to make careful arrangements。
