China: Robust demand for feed from the pig farming sector, aquafeed output rises
The cumulative pig feed output through October confirms robust demand from the pig-farming sector in view of the forthcoming New Year´s celebrations around China. The pig sector is struggling to slash over-capacity.

Aquaculture is now in off-season, but aquafeed output rose, year on year, in October 2021.

The average price of aquatic products rose year on year, supported by fine trading volumes. Shrimp prices remain generally stable in the main farming areas.
