In 2023, the excess feed cost for pork in China was lower than the forecasted 3.81 billion Euros in 2024. The subsequent years show a consistent year-on-year increase of approximately 3.15%, with values reaching 4.29 billion Euros by 2028. This steady growth suggests rising input costs, perhaps due to feed price increases or reduced efficiencies.

Future trends to watch include:

Potential impacts of changes in global grain markets on China's feed costs.
Technological advancements in feed efficiency which may mitigate these cost increases.
Policy shifts and their influence on agricultural imports and local feed production.
