| Abstract: |
| China is a country with the largest pig industry and the largest consumer of pork. The pork production in China
directly affects the “vegetable basket” of urban and rural residents. With the rapid economic development, the scale of pig
industry in Guangdong tops the forefront of the country. However, the pig production of Guangdong is not enough to meet the
demand of local people, and pigs were brought in from neighboring provinces of Guangxi, Hunan, Hainan, Fujian and Jiangxi
each year. Understanding the changes of pig production in Guangdong will help to adjust production mode and increase pig
production. After thorough analysis on the pig production data in Guangdong Rural Statistical Yearbook, the results showed
that the pig production capacity of Guangdong Province was increased rapidly at the early stage of the reform and opening-up
and to relatively stable after the “11th Five-Year Plan”. Pig production capacity was gradually transferred from the Pearl
River Delta, the rapid economic development region, to the western and northern of Guangdong. Furthermore, the efficiency of
pig breeding has been continuously improved and the pig breeding scale is transforming from the initial phenomena of “small,
scattered and disorderly” to large-scale and intensive. At present, the pig industry in Guangdong is faced with difficulties in
land use, great pressure on environmental protection, persistent epidemics, high breeding costs and other problems. In view of
the problems existing in the pig industry in Guangdong Province, corresponding development countermeasures are proposed to
promote the pig industry to the development of high efficiency, industrialization and ecology, which include strengthening the prevention and control of major epidemics to create a safe production environment; strengthen ing the transformation of breeding
equipment to improve production efficiency and production safety; reasonably planing pig breeding to promote ecological breeding;
optimizing policies and regulations to improve the breeding willingness of farmers. |
