China built nearly 13,000 new large-scale hog farms in the first three quarters of 2020 and restarted more than 13,000 hog farms that were shut down last year due to the African Swine Fever outbreak. A Chinese agricultural official says the country’s pork supplies heading into the Lunar New Year are expected to be 30 percent greater than last year, which could reduce pork prices compared to one year ago.
