FAO-OECD predicts several year for reconstruction of Chinese pigs The FAO has in its medium-term preview of agricultural markets over the coming years to 2026 specifically the Chinese pork market investigated. In their retrospective analysis , the FAO comes to the conclusion that the Chinese pig has been removed in the last 3 years by around 20%. As the major causes of economic problems and increasing environmental concerns identified. The lack of cost effectiveness is the result of low pig prices simultaneously strung high grain prices for corn and wheat. The State-guaranteed high grain prices should the supply improve. This is managed in excess, so that now the stock reduction measures had to be taken. The high feed costs brought the pig meat production but at still low pig prices under cost pressure, especially the backyard attitudes and poorly managed companies had to adjust their production. Sow housing in particular has been withdrawn from 46 to 35 million sows. At the same time urges the Government with a vengeance to more environmental protection in connection with the pig. Instead of discharge into water Güllelagerstätten and disposal areas must now be assigned to. The relocation of companies from close to settlement in the free landscape was arranged. The decline in the backyard attitudes was also welcomed because they represent the source of new disease trains constantly. Unfortunately 2016 in South China floods led to the destruction of another of thousands of pigs. The shortage of pork production in China has resulted in prices up to €3.65 / kg . Consumer prices have exceeded the permissible size. Therefore the Chinese Government will make every effort with the support of public fundsto rebuild the pig. However, the emphasis is placed on the powered industrial pig farms in magnitude of well over 15,000 animals with feed plant and slaughterhouses. In parallel, the still poorly-built closed cold chain is built up. The FAO expects that up to the year 2018 the previous production level can just be kept. Only from 2019 the pig should annually rates the 1% back upwards against. In the meantime but expected due to the economies of scale of the large economic entities, that meat production already before will rise again. China will be assigned with rising population and increasing income for the time being on high pork imports .
