China Seeks Reduction in Pig Breeding Herds to Ease Oversupply
China is urging top pig farmers to scale back breeding herds by about 2%, the latest push to tackle oversupply in the country's food sector, which has sparked concerns over deflation.
Farmers' representatives are expected to gather next week to discuss effective ways to shrink sow herds by 1 million, along with other measures to rein in pork production, China's state-backed official husbandry association said in a notice.
