Hog prices in China edge down in late July

August 04, 2020


Abstract : The price of live pigs in China went down 1.3 percent in late July compared with mid-July, data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed Tuesday.

BEIJING, Aug. 4 (Xinhua) -- The price of live pigs in China went down 1.3 percent in late July compared with mid-July, data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed Tuesday.

Since last year, China has implemented a string of policies to encourage hog production and stabilize pork prices affected by African swine fever and other factors.

To soften the impact of COVID-19, China has ramped up financial support including subsidies and loans to major pig-producing counties to restore production, and pork and hog prices have gradually retreated despite some fluctuations.

Tuesday's data also showed that of the 50 major goods monitored by the government, including seamless steel tubes, gasoline, coal, fertilizer and some chemicals, 24 saw price increases in late July, 18 posted lower prices and eight saw prices unchanged.

The figures, released every 10 days, are based on a survey of nearly 2,000 wholesalers and distributors in 31 provincial-level regions. Enditem
