Market analysis
Piglet prices weakened in most regions.
Demand was sluggish despite falling disease infection rates. Rearing profits remained slim.
Farmers were only interested in replenishing larger piglets weighing 250-400 grammes or above as they would mature in time for the Spring Festival in January (falls on January 26, 2009).
Market forecast
Near term piglet prices are expected to remain weak amid gloomy market outlook.
