Swine fever reshaping pig farming

Number of SMEs continues to drop due to surge in the output of large companies over the last decade

China's pig farming industry is undergoing a second crisis in a decade, this time caused by African swine fever. The potential pork shortage is changing the layout of China's pig industry and dining tables all over the world.

More than one million sick pigs had been slaughtered across the country by the end of April since ASF was first reported in August in Shenbei New District of Shenyang, capital of Liaoning province.
