Bringing home the bacon

This has forced China to maintain a cultivation scale of 50 million sows per year to ensure pork supply and demand are in balance, according to a report by the college of animal sciences and technology at Wuhan-based Huazhong Agricultural University.

"Based on this figure, such a low cultivation rate can waste 20 million metric tons of grain-based feed in China every year. The wasted grain is equal to one year's basic rations for 75 million Chinese residents," said Wang.

China mainly purchases five types of breeding pigs, including the Large White, Duroc and Berkshire from the US, Canada, Denmark, France and the UK every year.

Chen Jie, a researcher at the research center for the rural economy of the Ministry of Agriculture, said the diet structure of foreign breeding pigs is heavily based on large-scale feeding systems and high-protein feed made from corn, soybean and fishmeal. They cannot get used to the dispersed feeding method that includes corn-based starch and roughage feed and excessive use of additives conducted by Chinese pig farmers within a short period.

"Chinese pig keepers must be aware that imported breeding pigs are only capable of raising infertile offspring and producing processing meat. They have to purchase a large amount of costly high-protein grain feed every day to run their businesses," Chen said. "Another fact they should realize is China's grain prices have remained high in recent years while the government is trying hard to ensure its grain security."

China's pork production amounted to 54.93 million tons in 2013, a 2.8 percent rise from a year earlier, data from the National Bureau of Statistics shows. It makes it the world's biggest pork producer and consumer. To tackle food inflation, the nation's pork imports totaled 584,000 metric tons last year, a notable 12 percent increase from 2012.

Yu Chuanzhou, a professor at Huazhong Agricultural University, said Chinese native pigs are gradually disappearing. Native species account for around 10 percent of the 50 million sows in China.

The research work by the Ministry of Agriculture survey from 2004 to 2008 discovered four breeds, including the Shenxian in Hebei province and the Xiangcheng in Henan province, have already disappeared.

To avoid extinction and develop native species, the Chinese government has placed 34 species under State-level protection, which means they cannot be slaughtered.

The red-hot domestic pork trading market has also driven capable Chinese companies to secure pork supplies from the global market, Chinese pork producer Shuanghui International Holdings Ltd, a subsidiary of Luohe-based Shuanghui Group, completed a $4.7 billion purchase of US pork giant Smithfield Foods Inc last year, the largest Chinese acquisition of a US company.
