Similar to the April 2019 UBS Evidence Lab survey, the December 2019 survey revealed a lack of progress in the premiumisation of packaged meat in China, as indicated by the persistent weakness in purchase frequency and monthly spending on higher-ASP WLTM and CLTM. In addition, demand

33、emainder of 2019 and have been hovering around Rmb35 since the beginning of 2020. Amid the ASF outbreak, full-year 2019 average hog price in China was Rmb22/kg, up 73% YoY. In 2020 YTD, monthly hog price increases in China have been largely above 200% YoY, with current price standing at around Rmb33
34、/kg.Looking ahead, we remain positive on the hog price outlook in China, given reproductive sow inventories (down 28% YoY in January 2020) remain low even after a modest sequential recovery since October 2019 mainly on the back of breeders extensive practice of retaining commercial sows for reproduc

Our recent conversations with industry participants lead us to believe sow restocking could be delayed by 5-6 months, therefore negatively impacting supply in late-2020/early-2021, given the 10-month hog breeding cycle.We now expect full-year average hog price in China to r

Compare
58、d to the first round of the survey conducted in April 2019, 14% more respondents (58% this time vs 44% last time) say they have either cut back on or completely stopped their consumption of fresh/frozen pork due to ASF. Of those whose fresh/frozen pork consumption was negatively impacted by ASF, 76%
59、 noted significant increase in recent pork price in the December 2019 survey vs 23% in the April 2019 survey. Although the survey results indicate a meaningful negative impact on pork demand due to ASF-triggered price increases, we would expect this to be more than offset by an even more significant
