Since mid to late May, domestic pig prices have rebounded strongly, pig prices have generally risen to the level of 8 or 9 yuan, and pig profits have also fully returned. It is understood that many group pig farms have been able to control the complete cost within 7.5 yuan, and even the cost of individual pig farms can be controlled within 6 yuan, and a pig can usher in nearly 1,000 yuan.
As soon as pig farming turned losses into profits and began to make money, the group farm had a "new action". Authoritative media reports, in the recently released investor activity relationship record form, the new company said that in May as a whole to achieve a profit of about 250-300 million, the company's current commercial pig herd of about 7 million, can breed about 730,000 sows, is expected to be able to reproduce sows by the end of the year to recover to about 800,000 heads, that is to say, the company will increase the stock of sows 70,000 in the second half of the year.
Another state company, on June 25, said on the investor interactive platform that the company's breeding business began to make a profit in March, and the Anhui region also began to make a profit in April, and the breeding business was fully profitable in May, and the profit is expected to continue to increase this month. The company plans to slaughter 6 million pigs in 2024, and plans to increase the proportion of fattening and slaughter in the Liangguang region to about 40% in the future.
After 2022, affected by the continuous decline in pig prices and high breeding costs, the development of group pig farms has been hindered. Now that pig farming has just turned losses into profits, there are new actions, either to change the focus of breeding, or to increase the sow herd, indicating that the development of the group farm is not dead.
An important reason for the continuous expansion of the cost of the group farm is that in the current breeding state, whoever has more pigs in his hand has the right to speak, and who has the ability to influence the price of pigs. Although this wave of pig price rise is affected by factors such as the recovery of pork consumption in advance and the substantial reduction of domestic pig production capacity, the impact of capital speculation and the rush to buy piglets and secondary fattening pigs in the market cannot be ignored.
Pigs are no longer the animals that could only provide meat as before, but have become a financial tool, a money-making tool for capital. In the future, whether you can make money raising pigs may not depend on the quality of your pigs, but on the face of the group farm. Time will tell whether it is beneficial or harmful to encourage intensive farming and ban rural free-range farmers.
