Bad news this week

Outlook for domestic white-feathered meat duck market in the second half of 2023

According to statistics from the Mysteel agricultural product sample company, the average daily emergence of white-feathered commercial ducklings in July was about 11.6 million, a month-on-month increase of 15.77%. After 26-31 weeks into the year, moulting and reserve breeding ducks are still gradually increasing.The market is good and the number of breeding ducks to be eliminated is not large.

First of all, the impact of seasonal high temperatures on stocking has gradually weakened, and farmers are active in replenishing stocks at this stage; secondly, with the gradual reduction of subsidies at the end of the month, downstream manufacturers' stocking costs have reduced, and their enthusiasm for stocking has increased; finally, the industry is optimistic about the market situation from August to September. We have high expectations and are optimistic about the market outlook.

It is expected that the number of seedlings will reach a new peak in August without the industry's concentrated hunting for ducks.

Market outlook predicts that with the arrival of the school season in September, shipments of braised food products and frozen products from various frozen factories will slow down, and the volume of placement contracts will decrease; October will enter the off-season for product consumption, and placement efforts will be further reduced; there are many traditional festivals in November and December , product delivery is accelerated.

Judging from the current inventory of parental generation and the growth rate of commercial generation ducklings, the supply should be at a high level in the second half of the year, which is negative for the duckling market;judging from the elimination of parent breeding ducks, the current parent breeding duck market is supported by the egg market, and delays are increasing. It is expected that the number of eliminations will be limited in the second half of the year.

Moreover, the current production of end-of-breed ducks for slaughter is insufficient. In addition, catering and terminal market consumption has improved in the third and fourth quarters. The peak season for large-size products and segmented sales is approaching. The inventory pressure of frozen factories and dealers has improved. The enthusiasm for acquisitions has improved, and the amount of investment has increased. The demand side is good for the feathered duck market.

The United States updates and more stringent Xinjiang-related laws! In the past year, most of the goods exported to the United States have been detained or refused entry.

One year after its implementation, on August 1, local time, the United States released the latest Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA).

The updated UFLPA emphasizes the enforcement of a “rebuttable presumption.” This presumption prohibits the import into the United States of goods produced in Xinjiang or produced by entities identified on the UFLPA Entity List unless the importer can prove by clear and convincing evidence.

In the first year of UFLPA, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has reviewed more than 4,000 shipments worth more than $1.3 billion. Among them, at least 679 batches of goods have been refused entry, and nearly 2,000 batches of goods are still detained and need to go through a long review process before they can be released. CBP data shows that among the batches of goods detained as of March 14, electronic products ranked first, and textiles, clothing and footwear ranked second.

Despite increased enforcement efforts, members of Congress have expressed frustration with the speed and scope of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) enforcement operations over the past year, arguing that CBP has seized only a fraction of suspected commodity.

These two countries in the Southern Hemisphere set record high temperatures in winter

Although countries in the southern hemisphere are far away from the extreme summer temperatures in the northern hemisphere, Chile and Argentina both recorded record high temperatures in winter.

The temperature in Vicuña, a small mountain town in central Chile, has recently reached 37 degrees Celsius. Meteorologist Torres said that the last time such a temperature was recorded in Vicuña was more than 70 years ago. An unusually high temperature of 24 degrees Celsius was also recorded 450 kilometers south of Santiago, the capital of Chile.

At the same time, according to records from Argentina’s National Meteorological Service, the temperature in the capital Buenos Aires exceeded 30 degrees Celsius on August 1, setting the highest temperature for August 1 on record.The average temperature in Buenos Aires in August is usually between 9 and 18 degrees Celsius.

Cordello, a climatologist at the University of San Diego, believes that San Diego's high temperature record is likely to be broken this year, which is very abnormal. Ten years ago, the area experienced two heat waves per year; now there are nine.

Cordeiro noted that warmer weather will have the most significant impact on mountainous snowpack, which is important for the water supply of Chile's capital, Santiago. "Winter heatwaves have devastating effects on glaciers and snowfall," he said.

Experts say the Earth is experiencing a combination of two phenomena, global warming and El Niño. El Niño is characterized by rising ocean temperatures in the Pacific Ocean, causing rainfall, flooding, avalanches and heat waves in western South America.

Market news situation

This week’s news is more negative than positive

In terms of exports, among other related indices of the manufacturing PMI, the new export orders index has been declining continuously since February, and the current export boom has repeatedly declined. In addition, the United States will also increase enforcement efforts to review Chinese imports.

In terms of terminals, although the wholesale market sentiment has rebounded, brand owners' wait-and-see sentiment may rise again due to the warm winter in the southern hemisphere, and the manufacturing PMI is still below the boom-bust line.

In terms of breeding, the production of white-feather commercial ducklings will reach a new peak in August, and the supply should be at a high level in the second half of the year, putting duck down prices under obvious pressure.
