Prices, hog inventories, and pork output in China fluctuate from year to year in response to various factors that influence the market, and China's imports of pork tend to rise when Chinese hog prices are high. Extensive policy intervention by the Chinese government has contributed to consolidation in the country's pork industry but has not stabilized the market. Imported pork is becoming more competitive in China as Chinese pork production costs rise and animal disease outbreaks, environmental threats, and food safety concerns constrain growth of China's hog industry."<br /><br />The complete 30-page Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry Outlook Special Report, "China's Volatile Pork Industry", can be accessed by going to (it's currently listed under Current Documents):<br /><br />http://tinyurl.com/2hxp3zWalter Greenspanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16809407444165150857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492931707682284644.post-25569446021632629192012-02-07T13:13:52.380-07:002012-02-07T13:13:52.380-07:00The way I read it they are going to raise pigs rat...The way I read it they are going to raise pigs rather than butcher them.<br /><br />It is a huge difference because the byproducts of pork production (pig sewage) is some nasty stuff to deal with, unless it can be used for something such as as power generation or fertilizer production.<br /><br />Either way, if they are going to raise that many hogs, they hopefully will have more public sanitation hoops to jump through than Wendys of Havre did.DeConstructorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13561655708055751827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492931707682284644.post-46742524401898353972012-02-07T11:47:53.837-07:002012-02-07T11:47:53.837-07:00Maybe Freddy they will use multiple shifts?Maybe Freddy they will use multiple shifts?Ken & Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15383980311952310145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492931707682284644.post-62050143256570909842012-02-07T10:37:34.512-07:002012-02-07T10:37:34.512-07:00Shelby may be getting all the jobs now but you jus...Shelby may be getting all the jobs now but you just wait.
