The Chinese authorities' decision to impose strict rules on weaker pigs comes in response to market speculation and feed wastage. Small farms buy pigs from big farmers to fatten them, but the government wants to stabilize prices and reduce dependence on food imports. Poor demand and oversupply are affecting profitability, and pig prices have fallen significantly. Analysts point out that over-fattening leads to increased supply, worsening the price decline.
