China Xiangtai Food Co., Ltd will be able to have better control of the supply chain and continue to build their competitive advantages in the market

Chongqing, China -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/26/2020 --China Xiangtai Food Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ:PLIN) ("Xiangtai" or the "Company") is an emerging growth company engaged in the food processing business in China. China has an enormous appetite for meat, especially pork. Pork is the most widely consumed meat in the world, followed by poultry, beef and mutton. China leads the world in pork consumption. The average Chinese person consumes nearly 88lbs of the meat annually. As a result, China accounts for half of the world's pork consumption. But sadly as the African swine fever outbreak has wiped out hundreds of millions of pigs in China and has pushed up its prices by as much as 70 per cent.

But no matter how much China increases pork imports, it will be insufficient to fill the gap created by the swine fever outbreak. The entire pork global trade volume makes up only about 20% of China's domestic consumption. Even if China's pork imports triple next year, they would still only account for 5 to 6% of the country's domestic consumption, says He Weiwen, a senior researcher at the Center for China and Globalization, a Beijing think tank. China's pork industry will take at least five years to fully recover, based on other countries' experience with African swine fever. It is generally expected that the hog production will not recover until the end of next year, at the earliest. At least for next year, prices are expected to continue to rise.
