2015 Pig Farming Prospect Analysis and Market Forecast
What are the prospects for pig farming in 2015? According to the "China Pig Breeding Industry Market Research and Investment Forecast Analysis Report" released by Qianzhan, the industrial chain foundation of the pig breeding industry is currently weak, and the threshold for capital entry is relatively low, while China's consumer market is huge. In the long term, industrial concentration and forward-backward integration are the main development approach for the pig breeding industry during the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period.
From the current development of China's pig breeding industry, China's pig farming industry is undergoing a historic transformation, shifting from dispersed household farming toward large-scale, intensive, and industrialized operation. This will also bring huge opportunities to large companies with strong capital strength. At present, China's agriculture is in a transitional period, transforming from the past small-scale peasant economy toward a large-scale industrialized development stage. At this stage, for investors, the space is large and the opportunities are many; the earlier one enters, the more profitable it will be.
China's pig breeding models can be summarized as diversified models tailored to local conditions, namely the coexistence of free-range farming, small and medium-scale farming, and large-scale intensive farming. Xu Hongwei, a researcher in the pig breeding industry at Qianzhan Industry Research Institute, believes that for the future breeding models of China's pig breeding industry, large-scale and sustainable pig farming is the development direction for the future and also the ultimate development direction.
The advantage of large-scale farming lies in its ability to effectively prevent the occurrence of diseases through scientific feeding and management, reduce production costs, stabilize returns, improve its degree of specialization and ability to resist risks, and play an important role in stabilizing the pork market and smoothing pork prices.
For large-scale pig farms to expand their scale, the first factor is capital, the second factor is disease, and the third factor is environmental and policy factors. For this reason, the government should strongly support large-scale pig farming, raise the proportion of large-scale farming as soon as possible, encourage and support large pig farmers, adopt policies such as government interest subsidies and relaxed loans, accelerate the transformation toward intensive, large-scale, and industrialized farming models, and improve the level of standardized and large-scale pig farming.
For investors in pig breeding, the future development of the pig breeding industry has relatively large space and relatively large investment opportunities, but Xu Hongwei said that before and after entering the pig breeding industry, enterprises and other investors should first carefully choose the investment region, and from the initial stage adhere to strict quality and hygiene management standards and systems, strive to improve the level of deep processing of meat, develop multiple types of high-quality pork products, actively carry out deep processing of meat products and improve the development of the industrial chain. In terms of marketing, enterprises should also strengthen product production management and sales channel construction, and improve their market response capacity.
