II. Investment suggestions

It is likely that the pig price will be further adjusted in H1 in 2022. We expect that the capacity deconvolution will speed up at that time, and the pig industry is expected to usher in a new round of cycle reversal in the third quarter. Therefore, we are optimistic about the medium and long-term investment opportunities in the breeding industry and seed industry, and focus on recommending high-quality industry leaders with safe valuation.

1. Seed industry: Recently, favorable policies have been intensively released, focusing on the recommendation of high-quality seed industry leaders. The seed industry has recently ushered in the intensive release of a series of favorable policies. Following the arrival of the new seed law and the Central Document No. 1, the industry policy of promoting the commercialization of genetically modified staple foods will soon come down soon. According to the calculation of relevant policies, we expect that genetically modified corn and soybean seed products may be mass produced and listed in 2023. Accordingly, the seed industry will enter a new period of rapid growth at that time. Head enterprises have first mover advantages in transgenic technology R & D and product layout, and their market share may be more concentrated to head enterprises in the future. We maintain the positive rating of the seed industry, especially the investment opportunities of the high boom corn seed industry. In terms of individual stocks, focus on Shandong Denghai Seeds Co.Ltd(002041) with excellent variety combination and continuous growth, as well as Yuan Longping High-Tech Agriculture Co.Ltd(000998) , Beijing Dabeinong Technology Group Co.Ltd(002385) with leading advantages in transgenic R & D and variety layout, and pay attention to Winall Hi-Tech Seed Co.Ltd(300087) .

2. Breeding industry chain: 1) pig breeding: adjust pig prices or speed up production capacity, and pay attention to cost leading enterprises with reasonable valuation. After the recent stabilization of pig prices, there was a significant correction. According to statistics, as of the end of last weekend (January 7), the average price of pigs in Jiangxi Province was 15.65 yuan / kg, down 5.6% week on week. On the supply side, judging from the changes in the stock of fertile sows in the early stage, it is expected that the number of prenatal pigs will keep increasing month on month in April 22. On the demand side, the peak period of bacon production ends, the peak season of family and catering consumption will end after the Spring Festival, and the consumption power will weaken. The supply and demand pattern is becoming loose. We expect that it is more likely to continue to adjust the pig price based on the current price after the festival. Official data show that at the end of November, the number of fertile sows in China was 42.96 million, down 1.2% month on month, 4.8% higher than the normal number. According to official data, although the speed of capacity removal in the industry has slowed down due to the rebound of pig prices recently, the trend of capacity removal is still continuing. It is expected that after the double festival, with the readjustment of pig prices, the pace of capacity removal will be accelerated. We believe that with the deepening of the industry’s capacity deregulation in the first half of the year, the pig industry is expected to usher in a new round of cycle reversal in the second half of the year. In terms of valuation, at present, the market value of most pig enterprises is the same as the historical average, and the valuation is not expensive. Therefore, we continue to maintain the optimistic rating of the sector. Individual stocks mainly recommend Muyuan Foods Co.Ltd(002714) with leading cost, as well as Wens Foodstuff Group Co.Ltd(300498) and Tecon Biology Co.Ltd(002100) with obvious improvement in production indicators. 2) Dynamic insurance: on the eve of the new cycle, the prosperity of pig vaccine was under short-term pressure, but the static PE was at the bottom of history, the safety margin of valuation was high, and the optimistic rating was maintained. Individual stocks mainly recommend Wuhan Keqian Biology Co.Ltd(688526) with reasonable valuation and significant growth.
