Small and medium-sized farmers have always been the subject of China's pig-breeding industry. In recent years, the live pig market has undergone severe fluctuations. There have been various problems such as slaughter of pigs and instability of market prices among farmers, and the economic benefits have been unstable. . Starting from the practice of breeding, the investment costs of small and medium-sized farmers are relatively low, and their resilience is also weak when facing risks. When the live pig market is good, the production rhythm may not be able to catch up. When the market is bad, it will face the same loss. According to the market survey, the common problems of small and medium-sized farmers selling pigs are summarized:


1. Selling does not sell up, pigs are slaughtered:

Farmers are generally reluctant to sell their own goods and hold down the bar. They always expect that the market price will continue to rise before the price of live pigs reaches its peak. This will, to a certain extent, even increase the price of live pigs. However, once the price of live hogs crossed the apex, they began to show a downward trend. This made the market unprepared and the farmers began to rush to focus on pig production. The price of live pigs dropped rapidly.

2. Live pig sells, the buyer lowers the price:

The rapid decline in the price of pork mentioned above has directly and severely hit the enthusiasm of farmers, and there will be a period of peak sales. Due to the large size of the fattening pigs in the early stage, if pigs are fed at the time of slaughter, the feed rate will decrease, and the slaughterhouse or the purchaser may take the opportunity to implement the price reduction strategy.

3. The pig market continued to slump and exit the pig industry:

Due to the large amount of premise stocks, seasonal factors or sudden factors leading to a decrease in pork consumption may cause the pig price to remain depressed for a long time. Some small and medium-sized farmers have limited funds. If they can’t afford to make significant losses and cannot survive a long period of downturn in the price of pigs, they can only choose to withdraw from the pig industry.

4. After the peak of consumption, the price of live pigs fell:

According to the pork consumption habits and laws of our country's residents, the Mid-Autumn National Day and the Spring Festival are the traditional two major pork consumption peaks in China. After the festival, pork consumption will temporarily enter the off-season. If the price of pigs falls faster than psychological expectations, the panic of farmers will intensify, which may also lead to the pigs being slaughtered and selling off.

5. The price of pigs rises and the farmers benefit less:

Small and medium-sized farmers are often producers only, not real sellers. There are multiple levels of market and pig brokers between farmers and consumers, and in most cases the farmers can only passively accept the prices offered by the lowest-level pig brokers. The current status of this industry determines that farmers cannot fully enjoy the benefits of rising hog prices.

It is hoped that the farmers can clearly understand the problems existing in the current pig breeding industry, such as the slaughter of live pigs and changes in market prices in such unstable farming markets, and adopt reasonable remedial measures in the later production.
