The few patchy reports that have emerged sound ominous for the hog industry in the world’s largest pork market. The American pork market has enjoyed a sudden windfall, and yet the concern is growing that the most virulent pig disease in modern history could come to the US. INTL FCStone’s latest white paper, Chinese Pig Epidemic Poised to Reshape Global Trade, is a comprehensive report on what’s going on in China and how it might affect both hog and feed markets.

The paper examines:

  • The current state of the epidemic in China
  • Its effect on US markets
  • Shortcomings of the Chinese program to control AFS
  • Efforts to safeguard American herds
  • Ripple effects of a partial or full collapse of the Chinese pork industry
