The national average price of market-ready DLY hogs was Yuan 12.48/kg, an increase of Yuan 0.06/kg compared to yesterday. The lowest price was Yuan 11.54/kg in Xinjiang, while the highest price was Yuan 13.18/kg in Jiangsu. Today, hog prices rose in the north and remained stable in the south. In some northern regions, supply is relatively tight, leading to an overall strong price trend. Slaughter volumes have been gradually increasing, while small-scale farmers are holding back large hogs, reluctant to sell. Based on today's trading situation, hog prices are expected to fluctuate with adjustments tomorrow. In the short term, attention should be paid to the slaughtering activities of small-scale farmers and the reduction in supply from large-scale farming groups. The national standard hog price stands at Yuan 12.48/kg, while the price for heavy hogs is Yuan 13.05/kg, resulting in a price difference of Yuan 0.57/kg between standard and heavy hogs.
