China Hog Supply Chain Feed Cost Shocks and Profitability Analysis, 2015-2025

China's hog supply chain is analyzed using monthly data from January 2015 to December 2025. The dataset supports a nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) model examining links between feed cost shocks, piglet prices, and producer profitability. It was authored by Jinshuai Zhang and last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling price transmission dynamics based on feed cost and piglet price data
• Assessing producer profitability pressure based on the hog-to-feed ratio
• Conducting time-varying estimation of market relationships using rolling-window analysis

Strengths

• Monthly data provides a decade-long time series from 2015 to 2025
• Analysis employs advanced econometric models including NARDL and cointegration tests

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• The dataset is very small at 10.3 KB, indicating limited scope
