[Hog and Pork Prices Slightly Declined in the Third Week of May] According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs' monitoring of 500 county-level markets and collection points, last week (the third week of May, May 18-24), the national average price of live pigs was 10.12 yuan/kg, a decrease of 0.4% compared to the previous week; the average price of pork at farmers' markets was 19.98 yuan/kg, a decrease of 0.4% compared to the previous week. According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs' monitoring and dispatch of 200 wholesale markets, the national average wholesale price of pork last week was 14.76 yuan/kg, a decrease of 0.5% compared to the previous week and 28.5% lower than the same period last year. Experts analyzed that although most parts of the country experienced rainfall last week, temperatures were generally higher than before, leading to a slight decrease in pork consumption and a slight decline in hog and pork prices. Looking ahead, hog and pork prices are expected to continue to fluctuate slightly this week. (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs)
