Zhou Xiaoqiu, chief researcher of Guotai Junan Securities Co.Ltd(601211) Industrial Service Research Institute, said in an interview with surging news reporters that the off-season after the festival is expected to drive the early listing of large-scale enterprises in January.
“In the downward cycle of price, cash flow pressure drives enterprises to accelerate the pace of marketing. The month on month and year-on-year data of pig marketing of Listed Companies in October 2021 reached a phased high point, the core reason is that enterprises accelerate the marketing due to cash flow pressure, resulting in ” 。 January 2022 is the last peak month before the Spring Festival. For the same purpose of protecting cash flow, listed companies have increased their enthusiasm for marketing and the average number of pigs has decreased, which verifies this judgment. “
how will the future pig price go
Previously, on February 8, according to the monitoring of the national development and Reform Commission, the national average pig grain price ratio was 5.57:1 in the week from January 24 to 28, which was between 5:1-6:1 for three consecutive weeks, triggering the secondary early warning range of excessive decline. The national development and Reform Commission said it would work with relevant departments to start the collection and storage of pork reserves as appropriate, and guide local governments to carry out the collection and storage according to regulations.
Zhou Xiaoqiu pointed out that the marginal effect of purchasing and storage on spot prices decreased. In the second quarter, the supply side capacity continued to release, while the consumer side was in the traditional off-season, with periodic excess supply, and the spot price was easy to fall but difficult to rise. Due to the rapid decline in prices, the price ratio of pig grain is close to 5:1, and there is an expectation of starting collection and storage in policy.
“Historically, purchasing and storage may drive the periodic rebound of spot prices. For example, the two purchasing and storage in 2021 triggered a sharp rebound in spot prices. However, due to the greater weight of oversupply in the first half of the year, the driving effect of purchasing and storage on prices is much lower than that in the second half of the year , and the elasticity of spot prices will be reduced accordingly.” Zhou Xiaoqiu said.
Citic Securities Company Limited(600030) also believes that the market has entered the traditional consumption off-season after the Spring Festival. At present, the overall pig supply is still in the surplus stage. It is expected that there will still be downward pressure on pig prices in the future, and the second wave of de capacity has been gradually opened.

According to New Hope Liuhe Co.Ltd(000876) , in combination with the current situation of sows on hand and production indicators, it is planned to sell 13-18 million in 2022 and about 20 million in 2023.
