According to the website of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, on July 29, Tang Renjian, director of the Central Agriculture Office and Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, presided over an executive meeting of the Ministry to study and deploy work such as stabilizing pig production capacity.
The meeting pointed out that this round of "pig cycle" production capacity has fallen sharply, and the impact of the African swine fever epidemic and the new crown pneumonia epidemic is superimposed, and the task of recovery is heavy.
Under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, various regions and departments have made concerted efforts, and the production capacity of live pigs has returned to the level of normal years, the proportion of large-scale breeding has increased, and the industrial structure has been continuously optimized.

The meeting proposed that with the recovery of live pig production capacity and the fall in pig prices, it is necessary to promptly shift the focus of work to consolidate achievements and ease fluctuations in the "pig cycle", and explore the establishment of a long-term mechanism for stable production and development.
Efforts should be made to stabilize the pig production capacity of major pig breeding provinces, counties, and large farms, further consolidate local responsibilities, supervise the implementation of long-term support policies such as finance, finance, and land use, and maintain policy continuity and stability.
Accelerate the establishment of a counter-cyclical control mechanism for pig production, accurately monitor the monthly changes in pig production indicators, issue an early warning when the number of breeding sows monthly changes by plus or minus 5% year-on-year, and the number of breeding sows will decrease by more than 10% or live pigs. When aquaculture suffers serious losses for more than 3 months, the local government shall be urged to initiate rescue measures in a timely manner.
Continue to do a good job in the prevention and control of major diseases such as African swine fever, promote the standardized scale breeding of pigs, and improve the modernization level of the pig industry.
The meeting emphasized that we must attach great importance to the current disaster prevention and relief work, timely dispatch the disaster situation, and take targeted measures to guide and support the local governments to do a solid job in disaster prevention and mitigation, and do a good job in post-disaster recovery of production and food loss reduction, and no land is harvested. Blocks will pay close attention to replanting and replanting, and go all out to ensure a bumper harvest and food security in autumn.
At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the prevention and control of animal diseases, and promptly dispose of sick and dead livestock and poultry to ensure that "there is no major epidemic after a major disaster."
