China’s 1.4bn people consume 55 million tonnes of pork products a year
China’s 1.4bn people consume 55m tonnes of pork products a year, by far the most of any country. Household meat consumption has steadily risen alongside incomes, with the bulk of demand met by a domestic pig population more than 430m-strong before the outbreak.
Pork exports expected to double due to greater demand from China The boost would make China the No. 1 market for Mexican pig farmers Published on Thursday, February 27, 2020 Pork exports to China are predicted to double this year due to that country’s problems with African swine fever (ASF) and the effects of the coronavirus outbreak. Mexico sent 30,072 tonnes of pork to the East Asian economic powerhouse in 2019, making China the second biggest buyer of the meat after Japan. The president of the Mexican Meat Council (Comecarne) believes that exports this year will exceed 60,000 tonnes, which… Read more »
今年中国已经动用六架飞机从法国运回了4000多头高质量法国种猪。这是中国为重建遭受严重损失的生猪养殖业而采取的一项重要措施。中国预计总共要从法国进口几十架飞机的种猪。
在2018年年末，中国爆发了非洲猪瘟，数千万头猪被宰杀，母猪死亡高达60%，整个养猪业受到毁灭性打击。
据路透社周四（4月2日）报道，猪肉价格飞涨加上政府的鼓励，许多不愿买猪的农民又恢复了订单，增加了他们在瘟疫前签订的合同采购数量。一架包机价值高达150万欧元。
路透社引用法国种猪繁育公司Axiom全球战略师玛丽·普希帕拉雅林根（Marie Pushparajalingam）的话说：“这就像二战之后，他们的猪损失过半，需要尽快恢复。”
中国进口种猪注重生殖率和猪肉的质量。一头顶级的种母猪一窝可以生16个猪仔。
普希帕拉雅林根说，法国Axiom公司在今年1月派了两架波音777包机，上个月又派了两架波音747包机，运送了约3400头猪。按照合同，Axiom公司今年还要派6架飞机运送种猪给中国。
中国的德康集团表示，上周荷兰国际繁育公司Topigs Norsvin养殖的另外500头公猪被从法国空运到贵州，德康集团将用这些猪在核心繁殖场生产2000万头猪用于屠宰。
路透社说，中国每年要宰杀大约7亿头猪，生产5000多万吨猪肉，这相当于全球猪肉消费量的一半。但2018年至2019年的那场猪瘟导致中国猪肉产量下降了21%，猪肉价格的飞涨。预计猪肉产量下降的势头今年还会继续。
业内人士估计，中国可能需要再进口150多架飞机的纯种猪才能够使中国的养猪业恢复到正常水平。
全球猪肉产量1.1亿吨，中国吃掉5500万吨
