NEW YORK, NY, Sep 02, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- With small family farms

disease, industrial-scale farms are becoming an important part of China's pork
industry. The Bedford Report examines the outlook for companies in China's

China Daily recently published an article about government-mandated programs to
make the same shift to the kind of larger scale operations that now produces
more than 70 percent of the hogs in the United States. The Chinese Government
says that it will invest $390 million in large pig farms this year and that all
farmers and pig farms will receive a subsidy of at least $15 for every sow they
raise.

China is both the world's largest hog producer, with more than 450 million
animals, and the world's largest por! k consumer. This year, due to disease and
production shortfalls, Ch ina has had to turn to the US and other suppliers for
imports.
