Pig recovery ushered in another inflection point: in July, pig storage column for the first time achieved the same.

Reporters from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs was informed that in July, the country's pig production continued to recover rapidly, can breed sow storage column steadily increased, pig storage column began to grow year-on-year.
the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, animal husbandry and veterinary bureau related to the person in charge, according to the cyclical law of pig production, the production capacity recovery process is first to be able to breed sows to resume growth, then pig storage column to resume growth, and then out of the column to resume growth.
year-on-year growth of pig storage column, foreshadowing 5-6 months after the pig out of the column volume will also achieve year-on-year growth, will fundamentally reverse the tight market supply situation.
pig production capacity recovery ushered in another inflection point around the pig farm supplement column momentum is good according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs monitoring, in July, the national pig storage column increased by 4.8% month-on-month, for six consecutive months, an increase of 13.1% year-on-year.
this is the first year-on-year increase in pig storage since April 2018 and another important inflection point in the recovery of pig production capacity following the year-on-year increase in sow storage in June.
, the number of sows in July increased by 4.0% month-on-month, the 10th consecutive month of growth, up 20.3% year-on-year.
the person in charge of the introduction, pig farm households to supplement the column to increase the momentum is better.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of the country's full coverage of large-scale pig farms monitoring, in July, 2916 new-scale pig farms put into operation, so far this year, the total number of new-scale pig farms put into operation has reached 9093, last year the size of the empty column pig farms have 11,202 re-breeding.
the enthusiasm of retail farmers to supplement the column further restored, 4000 fixed-point monitoring village pig storage column and can breed sow storage column for 6 consecutive months growth, pig farmers accounted for 8.3% of the total number of households in the village, up 0.7 percentage points from february's historical low.
July, the country's 31 provinces (regions, cities) pig storage column all achieved month-on-month growth, the previous decline of the main southern provinces continue to recover rapidly, Jiangsu, Anhui, Guangdong, Hunan, Sichuan and other provinces pig storage column growth of more than 5% month-on-month.
" Since entering the city in 2020, many rounds of heavy rainfall have occurred in the southern region of China, resulting in floods in many places, but the facilities of pig farming are relatively high, and the impact of floods in the south on the recovery of pig production is generally small.
" the person in charge said, "but the risk of animal outbreaks after the disaster increased, local areas of new construction and expansion of pig farm construction progress has slowed due to the disaster, post-disaster production recovery task is more serious."
" june pork prices seasonal rise in the recent upward momentum weakened it is understood that from mid-February to the end of May, pork prices fell for more than three months in a row.
, pork prices rose again as a result of factors such as consumption-driven and seasonal consumption increased after the stable control of the outbreak of neo-crown pneumonia.
the last two weeks of gains have narrowed markedly as production has resumed, rising 0.7 per cent in the last week of July, 0.9 per cent in the first week of August and flat in the second week of August.
overall, the recent rise in pork prices has started to weaken, " said the official.
Taking into account factors such as the gradual resumption of pig production and the release of pork consumption demand, it is expected that pork will still show tight supply and high price volatility in the third quarter, with the continued increase in the number of listed fat pigs, supply and demand will further ease in the fourth quarter, and it is unlikely that prices will continue to rise significantly."
" the person in charge of the introduction, the next step, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will be in accordance with the Decision-making and deployment of the CPC Central Committee, the State Council, further increase efforts to effectively grasp the post-disaster pig disease prevention and control and production recovery, to ensure that by the end of 2020 the country's pig production capacity basically returned to near-yearly levels, next year completely returned to normal.
issued the Notice on Further Doing a Good Job in Animal Epidemic Prevention After Flood Disasters, giving priority to supporting the resumption of production in pig counties in flood-stricken areas, grasping the prevention and control of major animal diseases, doing a good job in linking production materials and products, and restoring normal production order as soon as possible.
to further implement pig breeding land, mortgage pilot and EIA policy measures, through leading enterprises, financial support, practical technical training and other ways to support small and medium-sized farmers to speed up the replenishment of the column.
We will not slacken the prevention and control of swine fever in Africa, implement normal control measures, continue to carry out full coverage of key areas and site entry sampling and testing, strengthen quarantine, slaughter supervision and harmless treatment of dead pigs and other measures to block the spread of the epidemic channels.
