4 Min Read BEIJING, Feb 3 (Reuters) - A surge in hog disease outbreaks this winter in China, the world’s biggest pork producer, will slow the industry’s rapid recovery since the African swine fever contagion three years ago, according to industry participants and analysts. China’s pig herd rose 31% in 2020, according to official data, as the industry rebuilt. But more frequent outbreaks of swine fever are occurring in northeast and northern provinces along with a worse-than-usual rise in Porcine epidemic diarrhoea (PED), said a manager at a pig farm supply company. “The disease challe...

1/18/2021 By Dominique Patton BEIJING, Jan 18 (Reuters) - China's pork output fell less than expected last year as it recovered from the impact of an incurable hog disease that depleted breeding stock, official data showed on Monday. China's 2020 pork output declined by 3.3% from a year earlier to 41.13 million tonnes after plunging 21% in 2019, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said. Some analysts expected a bigger fall in 2020 after an outbreak of African swine fever hit China in mid-2018 and meant the country's breeding stock had declined an estimated 60% by mid-2019. The 2020 r...

1/17/2021 By Dominique Patton BEIJING, Jan 18 (Reuters) - China's pork output posted a sharp recovery last year after the sector was decimated by an incurable hog disease in 2019, official data showed on Monday. China's 2020 pork output fell 3.3% from a year earlier to 41.13 million tonnes after plunging 21% in 2019, the National Bureau of Statistics said. But some analysts said they had expected a much bigger fall in 2020 after the African swine fever ravaged China's breeding stock in 2019. China's stock had fallen by an estimated 60% by mid-2019 after the disease hit China in mid-2018. The ...

The meat industry is starting to get squeezed from both sides. China is rebuilding its hog herd faster than expected, boosting demand and prices for soybeans and corn used to feed animals. And with its herds growing quickly, the world’s biggest consumer may soon need to import less meat. That twin dynamic — elevated feed costs and likelihood of smaller meat shipments to China in 2021 — threaten to shrink profits for livestock and poultry farmers in the U.S, Brazil and elsewhere, as well as the companies that process the animals into meat. Even worse, producers are getting hit j...
