[Explanation] A few days ago, the 2020 Chengdu Sino-French Pig Industry Cooperation and Exchange Seminar was held in Chengdu.
At the meeting, experts in the pig industry from China and France discussed "traceability in pig breeding", "pig farm architectural design management and ecological treatment of manure", "the latest French breeding technology and common problems introduced in China", "pig nutrition balance and Exchanges on topics such as equipment.
Huang Ting, chief agronomist of Chengdu Municipal Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that this seminar will help build a bridge between Chengdu pig industry and French agricultural science and technology resources, and is conducive to the transfer and transformation of French advanced pig breeding technology to Chengdu, and deepen the agriculture of the two places. International cooperation in the field of technological innovation.
Bai Yusong, the consul general of the French Consulate-General in Chengdu, said on the spot that he saw great prospects for France and Sichuan pig breeding enterprises represented by Chengdu.
[Concurrent] (Bai Yusong, Consul General of the French Consulate General in Chengdu) France has very advanced technology and experience in pig breeding. In addition to very advanced technology and experience, (French pig breeding technology) is also very modern, so It can drive Chinese breeding professionals, which also shows that the development of the pig breeding industry in the southwest region is also very interested in us (French companies).
[Explanation] Ma Zhanjun, manager of the French Pig Research Institute in China, said that in France, small-scale intensive family or agricultural cooperative pig farming methods are the mainstream, which is very different from China's industrialized pig farming model.
In his view, the intensive pig raising model is very suitable for the current situation in China's rural areas, or it can bring new ideas for China to solve the problems of rural population employment and entrepreneurship.
[Concurrent] (Ma Zhanjun, Manager of the French Pig Research Institute, China) The current situation of the pig industry in France and China is actually very different. For example, in France, many small-scale intensive households or agricultural cooperatives are the mainstream, while in China, it is industrialization. For pig farming, for example, there are at least two thousand or four thousand pig farms in China. For France, this kind of pig farm basically does not exist. The largest pig farm is two thousand. The intensive route taken is very suitable for the current situation in rural China. On the one hand, fewer people need to be hired. In China, it can solve the employment problem of a large part of the rural population. In addition, family farms are their own industries and are more autonomous than part-time jobs. , More positive.
In the long run, it is very beneficial to all aspects of the economy and environmental protection.
Hope to have more in-depth exchanges between the two countries in the field of family farming and rural areas.
[Commentary] Bai Yusong said that although no French pig breeding company has settled in Sichuan yet, project cooperation and experience exchanges between relevant French companies and Sichuan companies and institutions have been carried out.
In the future, the French Consulate General in Chengdu will continue to work in all aspects to further promote the development and investment of French companies in Sichuan.
