On the eve of China's two sessions in 2021, Liu Yonghao, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman of the New Hope Group, said at a media communication meeting that the supply rate of core livestock and poultry species in China will reach 75%.
However, compared with the international advanced level, there are still many shortcomings. Just like the importance of chips to mobile phones, the "pig chip" is an urgent problem that needs to be solved in the current pig industry.
He believes that the biggest gap lies in the lack of emphasis on breeding and insufficient funding.
As the country that consumes the most pork, China should have its own breeding system to breed competitive original pigs.
He suggested that the "China Breeding Pig" major project research and development and post-promotion subsidy policy should be introduced as soon as possible, and seed industry companies should be encouraged to actively invest in the development of breeding pig research and development, infrastructure, talent training, international cooperation and other research projects based on the principle of "enterprise investment first, and the state supplement half". .
