Corn and pig farming are representative sectors of China’s crop production livestock industries, respectively. The spatial relationship between these two industries is great significance for coordinating crop–livestock integration promoting sustainable agricultural development. Therefore, this study takes corn as focal points to examine the spatiotemporal coupling evolutionary characteristics identify driving mechanisms underlying their relationship. results showed following: (1) center pigs situated in southern China, whereas located northern China. Temporally, continues shift northward, while location remains relatively stable. (2) national-level development index exhibits a declining trend with fluctuations significant regional disparities. lowest observed northeastern (3) “corn–pig” balance coefficient categorizes regions “more grain, fewer pigs” pigs, grains”, demonstrating persistent mismatch across North South (4) abundance alternative feed grains, established industrial infrastructure, climatic conditions key factors sustained north–south separation industries. These findings provide insights into dynamics clarify mechanisms, offer valuable guidance policy optimization aimed at enhancing
