Shen +86 21 2412 9077 China agriculture industry A fruitful pig year Key points Hog prices poised to rally in 2H19;ASF will intensify this hog cycle.Broiler prices to remain high due to short supply.Feed outlook:mild growth of corn prices,uncertain soybean meal prices.We visited six listed companies in the field of agriculture recently and thus provide our 2019 outlook for Chinas agriculture industry.Based on Macquaries supply&demand model,we believe hog prices are well poised for a rally in 2H19 and that broiler prices will remain high,due to tight supply.On the back of little pressure from feed costs,we believe 2019 will be a fruitful Year of the Pig for hog and broiler producers in China.Hog price poised to rally in 2H19;ASF will intensify this hog cycle The National Bureau of Statistics announced a reported 8.3%YoY decrease in sow stock at the end of 2018.Our industry checks with feed producers nationwide indicated a more severe decline at 10%YoY.In addition to the ongoing Africa Swine Fever(ASF)preventing restocking,we estimate an 8.1%decrease in total supply and 3.6m-ton shortage if assumed 2%demand decline.Based on our sensitivity analysis,each 1%growth on the demand side will lead to a 0.55m-ton pork supply shortage.We believe pork prices will bottom in 2Q19,then pick up in 2H19.Moreover,we think the ongoing ASF will last for a long time,which will intensify and prolong this hog cycle.Broiler price remains high due to supply shortage Chinas white-feathered boiler production relies mainly on imported grandparents.Given the lingering shortage of imported grandparent stock,Macquarie broiler supply and demand model projects a 3%increase of supply in 2019.On the demand side,we believe consumption will also pick up slightly,with 3%YoY growth in 2019 due to concerns on ASF and the substitution effect of pork as hog prices pick up in 2H19.Therefore,we believe broiler prices will remain high in 2019,with resulting gross margin pressure for the downstream companies,such as Shuanghui and YUMC.Feed prices outlook:mild growth of corn,uncertain soymeal Feed costs comprise 60-70%of hog production COGS and 60-65%of broiler production COGS.Corn and soybean meal are the two key raw materials for both hog and broiler feed.In 2019,we believe the corn price will see mild growth,driven by supply shortage.Post a dramatic 2018,soymeal prices,while still uncertain due to the trade war,are unlikely to further rise in 2019 due to 4.4%growth in Brazils exports,which made up 75%of Chinas 2018 soybean imports,based on USDAs latest projection.Overall,we see limited feed cost pressure.Recommendations In upstream,hog and broiler producers should benefit from price hikes and limited pressure from feed costs in 2019.Hog cycle is longer than broiler cycle.As for downstream,we prefer WH Group(288 HK,HK$6.79,Outperform,TP:HK$8.90)to Shuanghui(000895 CH,Rmb25.11,Neutral,TP:Rmb22.40),given that we believe the US fresh pork business is on track to recovery,while China business will be under margin pressure from high broiler and hog prices.We maintain our Neutral on YUMC(US$41.66,TP:US$34.50)due to commodity price pressure and market competition.Macquarie Research China agriculture industry 12 February 2019 2 HK/China consumer valuation table Fig 1 HK/China consumer valuation table(1)Company Code Price

2H19;ASF will intensify this hog cycle Given our estimated 10%decrease in sow stock and ongoing ASF preventing restocking,Macquaries China pork supply&demand model now estimates an 8.1%decrease in total supply in 2019,driven by a 10.6%decline in domestic hog production,and we believe hog prices are well poised to rally from 2H19.We prefer upstream hog producers to downstream meat processors,as this price rally should boost upstream companies sales and margins,while downstream meat processor will likely be under gross margin pressure.Players moving towards hog production in hog industry value chain The pork industrial value chain can be categorized into five key divisions:feed production,hog production,slaughtering/fresh pork production,processed meat production,sales and distribution.Hog production starts with the breeding of hogs and continues with farrowing,which is the birth of newborn piglets.Thereafter,piglets are transferred to nurseries and fattening farms where they will become finishing hogs and then sent for slaughter.Hogs are slaughtered in slaughterhouses to produce fresh pork products that are either sold directly or transported as raw materials for further processing of processed meat products.Fig 3 Chinas hog industry value chain Source:COFCO meat,Macquarie Research,February 2019 In the hog industry value chain,downstream meat processors with brand equity and distribution channels enjoyed the best profitability with less volatility.Hog producers come second in terms of margin levels,although volatility is higher as they are directly exposed to the hog cycle.Feed producers profitability is relatively stable,while thin.Lastly,slaughtering houses usually serve as auxiliary facilities for upstream or downstream,whose profitability is suffering from low utilization rate due to the fragmented landscape of hog production.Fig 4 Hog productions higher profitability comes along with higher volatility due to hog cycle Value chain Feed

Even though its hog production saw slight moderation post the historical high in 2014,China is still the largest pork producer and consumer in the world,accounting for 48%of global pork production in 2018.Fig 5 China hog production is in a dominant leading position and Chinese ate up almost half of global production Fig 6 China hog production volume and YoY growth Source:Statista,Macquarie Research,February 2019 Source:PRC Ministry of Agriculture(MOA),Wind,Macquarie Research,February 2019 However,Chinas hog production industry is fragmented as small“backyard”farmers with annual capacity less than 500 head account for the majority of producers.According to the PRC Ministry of Agriculture(MOA),a scaled farm is defined as one that could produce 500 head of marketable hogs per year.Small farms still contributed to 50%of total hog production in 2017 vs.74%in 2007,according to the MOA of PRC(link).Fig 7 Small farms still in the dominant position Fig 8 even with the decrease
