Shanghai released the 2026 revision of its Comprehensive Plan for Regulating Pig
Production Capacity, designating breeding-sow inventory as the core indicator.
It sets a normal stock level of 80,000 breeding sows and limits the number of
large-scale pig farms to 90. Monthly inventory changes will be classified into
green, yellow and red bands: green relies on market adjustment, yellow triggers
warnings and guidance, and red prompts strengthened regulatory measures.
Districts and Guangming Food Group’s out-of-region farms must keep production
capacity relatively stable. The Shanghai Municipal Agriculture and Rural Affairs
Commission will publish production monitoring data promptly and guide farms on
production pacing.
