Pig prices hit bottom in the first quarter, and the market is expected to rebound in the second half of the year.

As of April 21, leading pig farming companies such as Muyuan Foods and Wen’s Shares have gradually disclosed their Q1 2026 reports. Against the backdrop of continuous market price declines, the industry’s profitability has been under overall pressure. The reporter learned that current pig prices have fallen to their lowest point in over a decade, but recently, market bullish sentiment has increased, with a short-term rise of about 15% at one point. Industry analysts believe that under the intensive pig price stabilization and regulation efforts by relevant departments, production capacity has been reduced, and it is expected that starting from July this year, the supply and demand pattern in the market may experience a turning point.
