TREE NEWS update: Wens Foodstuff Group said on October 12 that its comprehensive hog farming cost fell below 6 yuan per jin in August. The company also reported a complete cost of 5.8-5.9 yuan per jin for live chickens in August, attributing the level to higher feed raw material prices and a slight increase in contract farming fees amid a market recovery.
Wens Foodstuff Group: August Hog Farming Cost Falls Below 6 Yuan/Jin
Wens' sub-6 yuan hog cost is a notable efficiency marker, but the chicken figure is the more telling one: it is framed as elevated by feed prices and higher contract fees during a market recovery, meaning the company is absorbing margin pressure to keep farmer partners on board. The split suggests hog and poultry economics are diverging, and whether the chicken cost line eases as feed and market conditions shift is the open question.
