Today, the national average price of pigs was 26.68 yuan / kg, up 0.08 yuan / kg or 0.30% from yesterday. Compared with last week, the rise slowed down significantly. The lowest price for pig purchase in Yunnan is 16.00 yuan / kg; The highest price is 32.00 yuan / kg in Hunan.
At present, the shortage of live pigs and pork in the market continues, and it is difficult for slaughtering enterprises to collect pigs. The Mid Autumn Festival is approaching, and the preparation before the festival is about to be opened. After the Mid Autumn Festival, there is a long National Day holiday, which is boosted by market festivals. In addition, the temperature in the northern region will gradually cool, the consumption of livestock and poultry will gradually recover in autumn and winter, and the further upward trend of pig prices will not change.

1. Affected by the African swine plague, the number of domestic pigs and fertile sows decreased.
2. Small and medium-sized pig farms and free range farmers empty and clear fences for retirement.
3. Insufficient supply
