China's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs monitoring for the week of Nov. 2–8 showed average live hog prices at 10.11 yuan/kg, down 2.9% WoW; retail pork averaged 20.11 yuan/kg, down 1.2% WoW. Wholesale pork averaged 15.01 yuan/kg, down 3.1% WoW and 16.7% YoY. Analysts said consumption has not yet picked up seasonally, dressed‑carcass sales remain weak and supply is ample, weighing on prices. Experts expect hog and pork prices to trade with modest volatility this week.
