The price of pork is still crazy cheap.

I don't think you can just look at the futures, have to see price series for pork prices in China, e.g. https://www.pig333.com/markets_and_prices/china_106/

Do you have an alternative link for hog prices? The graph and prices are blocked by adblock or noscript.

I'm looking at this for hog prices: https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/lean-hogs - does this reflect the pork prices you are describing about?

Let me look around, but I remember it being hard to find good price series for pork in China. Don't think the LH1 ticker is the one to look at, but maybe it's a reasonable proxy directionally...I'm not sure it's been a while since I charted the series against each other.
