Death can occur within a week of infection. There is no treatment or vaccine. The only way to stop the disease is to cull all affected or exposed swine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If this happens, there will not be enough surplus pork in the world to meet the anticipated shortfall in production.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The increase in imports comes at the cost of numerous smaller and potentially more climate-friendly domestic pig farmers<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since 1970, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/691474\/china-pork-consumption\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">per capita consumption of pork<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in China increased more than fourfold, from 25 grammes per day to over 100. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">About half of all pigs in China are raised in small to medium scale pig farms, according to Wanqing Zhou, an associate at NGO Brighter Green. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These farms have long been the most challenging to regulate in terms of waste management, antibiotic use and animal welfare.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At between 2-3% imported pork is still fractional in China. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/china-economy-trade-pork\/china-pork-imports-jump-24-in-april-customs-idUSL3N21727J\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">US was the main source<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but has been replaced by European countries such as Germany and Spain in recent years. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, Latin America could play a larger role. But there will be consequences. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe increase in imports comes at the cost of numerous smaller and potentially more climate-friendly domestic pig farmers, an issue that the [Chinese] government has been trying hard to resolve,\u201d Zhou said. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In March, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmp.com\/economy\/china-economy\/article\/3002717\/china-says-it-has-contained-african-swine-fever-cover-claims\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chinese government said it had a &#8220;good control&#8221;<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the epidemic. At a press conference last month, Beijing said ASF was not spreading as quickly as before. According to the FAO, China&#8217;s central authorities have taken the correct steps to control the virus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, complications remain. China\u2019s pig industry is fragmented and there are many small farms that may not have the correct security measures needed to control the spread of the disease. Furthermore, the virus can survive in pork products for months, meaning it can be reintroduced into herds by accident.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>China: the main goal<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For many Latin American pork-producing countries, the Chinese market has been a major ambition due to its size. For years, they have been working to either get clearance to start exporting or to expand the number of companies authorised to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are pending issues to solve such as lowering the use of antibiotics and a better management of effluents<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ASF crisis means that work to pay off, but it also presents a challenge. The same countries with export aspirations could see soy and corn shipments drop as China\u2019 declining pig stocks require less food. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Brazil, the soy industry expects US$2 billion in losses this year. But if pig farming can compensate, the result could be positive in terms of job creation as it generates more employment than soy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Argentina could export <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lanacion.com.ar\/economia\/campo\/peste-porcina-china-argentina-podria-vender-mas-nid2250602\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">up to three million tonnes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> less soy next year, according to a report by the Buenos Aires Grain Exchange. This would be partly offset by the more than 18,000 tonnes of pork it hopes to ship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cUp to 70% of our current pork exports now go to Russia. We have productions levels comparable to leading countries but there are pending issues to solve such as lowering the use of antibiotics and a better management of effluents,\u201d said Jorge Brunori, a pig expert at the Agriculture Technology Institute (INTA). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though not exposed to diseases such as ASF, Argentina still has far from rational antibiotic use and does not consider animal welfare properly, according to Soledad Barruti, author of Malcomidos, an investigation into food production. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Upscaling production safely in order to export to China could prove challenging.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cArgentina is exporting low-quality pork that is subject to poor environmental standards,\u201d Barruti said. \u201cIt\u2019s cheap meat but it\u2019s not contemplating the costs of all of us getting sick because of the toxic combination the pigs are exposed to.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over the past seven years, Argentina <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/supercampo.perfil.com\/2019\/02\/argentina-duplico-la-produccion-de-carne-porcina\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">doubled its pork production<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from 280,000 to 565,000 tonnes due to growing domestic consumption. Now, however, exports play a bigger role, increasing 53% over the first four months of the year, according to the Agriculture ministry. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are more than 100,000 pork farms in Argentina, most of which are located in the centre of the country. Despite their expansion, production is still insufficient to meet national demand and the country imports from Brazil.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe have seen a large expansion over the last 15 years, but all focused on the domestic market. Now it\u2019s the time to look at other countries and China was top of our list,\u201d Proietto said. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Chile expands production<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chile is currently the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.datasur.com\/chile-es-quinto-exportador-mundial-de-carne-porcina-y-sector-intensifica-lazos-con-mercado-asiatico\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> fifth largest exporter of pork in the world<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. ChilePork, the national producers&#8217; association has successfully deployed marketing strategies at trade fairs in Asia to boost recognition of their products.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class='block--pullout-stat block--pullout-stat--float cd-shortcode--factbox'>\n                <p class='block--pullout-stat__title'>534,000<\/p>\n                <div class='block--pullout-stat__content'>\n                    <br \/>\nChile's current annual port production in tonnes, a near tenfold increase since =1984<br \/>\n\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pork production in Chile has grown from 59,000 tonnes in 1984 to the 534,000 today. Pork is now the fourth most exported product in the country. Over 60% of production is exported. China, recipient of 73,000 tonnes last year, the principal destination. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cProducing countries like us could benefit from greater pork demand. But if the situation is more serious than what is being reported, there won\u2019t be a sufficient supply to cover China\u2019s demand. Prices of pork and other meats will be on the rise,\u201d said Juan Carlos Dom\u00ednguez, head of ChilePork. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exports have also increased from Brazil. In May alone, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/economia.estadao.com.br\/noticias\/negocios,com-peste-suina-na-china-crescem-exportacoes-brasileiras-de-proteina,70002854897\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">exports were up 41%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> compared to 2018, from 47,700 tonnes to 67,200.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Luizinho Caron, a researcher at Embrapa, the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation, says greater demand means prices and profits are higher. However, producers know the hike is temporary and don\u2019t want to invest to grow capacity. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With China\u2019s doors open, many are adapting their plants to meet Chinese importers\u2019 standards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cNot all plants are ready to export,\u201d Caron said. \u201cThis will possibly stimulate them to get the know-how.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the Chinese lunar calendar, 2019 is the year of the pig.
