No matter whom you ask, the answer will be the same: China is the No. 1 pork producer and consumer on this planet. In the year of 2000, 527 million heads of pigs were slaughtered, and nearly 50% of all pork in the world is now produced in China (NBSC, FAO, USDA, 2002). The 1.3 billion consumers seem to prefer pork over any other meats in their meals-essentially all pork produced in the country is consumed domestically.

不管你问谁,答案将是相同的:中国是世界上第一大猪肉生产商和消费者。2000年,5.27亿头猪被屠杀,世界上将近50%的猪肉是在中国生产。与其他肉类相比，中国13亿消费者似乎更喜欢猪肉。

Depending on whom you ask, you will at least have some different answers about the profiles of the Chinese pig industry. In 1999, a survey conducted by NBSC (National Bureau of Statistics of China) revealed that households in rural China raised an average of 1.48 pigs (NBSC, 2000). One person of 8 in the world is a Chinese farmer. Another frequently quoted statistic is that about 80 percent of all Chinese pigs are produced in the backyards of farmers’ homes.

你问的人不同，你就会得到关于中国猪产业的一些不同的答案。1999年中国国家统计局开展的一项相关调查显示,中国农村家庭养猪量每年平均提高1.48。世界上每八个人中都有一个人是中国农民。另一个统计显示，在中国，大约80%的猪被养在农民的房屋后院。

Recent reports prepared in 2002 by hog industry associations in Zhejiang, Shanghai, Beijing, and Guangdong provinces proposed that 40 to 50 percent of the hogs were produced on ‘scale farms’ in those provinces. However, it is difficult to precisely define a ‘scale farm’ and validate the reports without more reliable data. What are the correct numbers to describe the profiles? The reality may be simple: there has been no sound and comprehensive investigation/survey accomplished so far in order to accurately profile the industry.

Increasing market openness inferred by China’s accession to the World Trade Organization, continued income growth, and the shift of food consumption patterns towards more meat have attracted more and more attentions from the rest of world on Chinese pork industry.

This report attempts to depict the pig industry in China by exploring the production costs and major constraints of several swine producers. Key factors and issues will accordingly be stressed to illustrate what differentiates the Chinese pig industry from other countries’ and what direction the industry is heading infor the future.

Case 1: Ms. Yan - Struggling Backyard Producers

案例1.严女士——苦苦挣扎的后院生产商

Ms. Yan is 64 years old and has been raising two pigs for the last 40 years except for several extreme years in early 1960s when many people died of famine. She and her husband re-built their house in rural Shandong Provinces at least six times in the last 40 years.

In those very difficult years amid the Cultural Revolution, 3 or 4 pigs a year could add a significant part of family revenue. Food grain (mainly wheat) was never enough for four young children in the early years. Selling a pig two or three times a year allowed for the purchases of other foods in return.
