Weekly report on agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery (issue 5): pig prices bottomed twice and continue to be optimistic about the pig breeding sector

I. core view

The boom of the breeding industry chain is about to hit the bottom and reverse, and the boom of the planting industry chain continues to be high, maintaining the “optimistic” rating of the agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery sector. In terms of sub industries, combined with economic changes and valuation, the pig breeding and yellow feather broiler breeding industries are mainly recommended.

1. Aquaculture industry chain

1) pig industry: maintain optimistic rating, and focus on Muyuan Foods Co.Ltd(002714) and Tecon Biology Co.Ltd(002100) . Last week, the average price of pigs in 22 provinces and cities was 13.96 yuan / kg, down 0.01 yuan per week; The average price of piglets was 27.41 yuan / kg, up 0.44 yuan per week; The average price of binary sows was 32.82 yuan / kg, down 0.25 yuan per week. Pig prices are in the process of secondary bottoming, and there is limited room for further decline in the future. At the end of December, there were 43.29 million fertile sows in China, an increase of 0.76% month on month, 5.58% higher than the normal population. The industry’s production capacity is in the process of de industrialization. Although the speed has slowed down recently, the process has not stopped. It is expected to accelerate again with the expansion of industry losses and the intensification of capital chain tension. At present, we maintain our judgment on the bottom reversal of production capacity and pig price in the third quarter. Although the stock price rebounded recently, the valuation is still below the historical average, with a high margin of safety, maintaining the “optimistic” rating of the industry. In terms of individual stocks, focus on Muyuan Foods Co.Ltd(002714) with leading cost and Tecon Biology Co.Ltd(002100) with diversified operation, and pay attention to Wens Foodstuff Group Co.Ltd(300498) , Tangrenshen Group Co.Ltd(002567) , Shenzhen Kingsino Technology Co.Ltd(002548) and Fujian Aonong Biological Technology Group Incorporation Limited(603363) .

2) yellow chicken industry: maintain a positive rating and focus on Jiangsu Lihua Animal Husbandry Co.Ltd(300761) . In January, the price of Lihua yellow chicken was 14.46 yuan / kg, with a monthly increase of 0.26 yuan / kg; Wen’s yellow chicken sold for 13.98 yuan / kg, down 0.62 yuan per month. The price of yellow chicken has been above the cost line since the fourth quarter of 2021, and is expected to remain stable in the next 1-2 quarters. In the medium and long term, environmental constraints and the ban on the live poultry market will accelerate the withdrawal of small and medium-sized production capacity, and the competition pattern of the industry is expected to continue to be optimized. Maintain the “optimistic” rating of the industry, focus on Jiangsu Lihua Animal Husbandry Co.Ltd(300761) , and pay attention to Wens Foodstuff Group Co.Ltd(300498) and Hunan Xiangjia Animal Husbandry Company Limited(002982) .

3) dynamic insurance: give a good rating, with emphasis on Wuhan Keqian Biology Co.Ltd(688526) . The night before the pig cycle reversal, the prosperity of pig vaccine was under short-term pressure. In the medium and long term, the improvement of large-scale breeding level, the iteration of product technology upgrading and the listing of new products will drive the expansion of the animal protection market. At the same time, the new GMP certificate certification, feed prohibition and breeding restriction, as well as the improvement of the biological security level of the breeding industry will promote the reform of the animal protection industry and optimize the competition pattern. At present, the industry valuation is at the bottom of history and the safety margin is high, so it is given a good rating. Individual stocks mainly recommend Wuhan Keqian Biology Co.Ltd(688526) with reasonable valuation and R & D advantages.

2. Planting industry chain

1) seed industry: maintain the “optimistic” rating, focusing on Shandong Denghai Seeds Co.Ltd(002041) and Yuan Longping High-Tech Agriculture Co.Ltd(000998) . The policy of seed industry is in the process of continuous strengthening. What we can expect is the No. 1 central document. In the medium and long term, the upcoming promotion and listing of genetically modified products will promote the expansion of seed industry market and the optimization of competition pattern. Enterprises will have more first mover market share in the future. Maintain the long-term “optimistic” rating of the industry, focusing on the investment opportunities of corn seed industry with high prosperity. In terms of individual stocks, focus on Shandong Denghai Seeds Co.Ltd(002041) , Yuan Longping High-Tech Agriculture Co.Ltd(000998) , Beijing Dabeinong Technology Group Co.Ltd(002385) .

2) planting: maintain the “optimistic” rating and focus on Jiangsu Provincial Agricultural Reclamation And Development Co.Ltd(601952) . Bulk grain prices are at a high and strong operation stage, and are expected to continue in the next 1-2 quarters under the background of geopolitical tensions, rising crude oil prices and adverse weather affecting agricultural production in major producing countries in South America. In the medium and long term, under the protection of the policy tone of ensuring primary Shenzhen Agricultural Products Group Co.Ltd(000061) supply and comprehensively promoting rural revitalization, the food price center is expected to move upward gradually. Maintain the long-term “optimistic” rating of the industry, and focus on individual stocks Jiangsu Provincial Agricultural Reclamation And Development Co.Ltd(601952) .
