Farmers make more money raising traditional black pigs than large-scale pig farms.

How do farmers benefit from the pig industry? The reporter interviewed and found that with the continuous expansion of the pig industry, farmers have increasingly diversified their income from the pig industry and can still share the fruits of pig industrialization development.

Xinchao Village, Jiaji Town, Qionghai City is a professional pig-raising village. A few days ago, the reporter interviewed here and found that farmers here raise traditional black pigs, and the benefits of each pig are more profitable than large-scale pig farms.

An old man in the village raised black pigs for many years, and more than 30 black pigs were sold every year. In the first half of this year, he sold 15 black pigs, each earning more than 1100 yuan. He told Hainan Daily that he rarely bought feed for raising pigs. He got up early every day and went to the fixed restaurant in Jiaji Town to collect leftovers. After returning home for high temperature disinfection, he used them as pig feed. The black pigs he raised were fat and strong, especially popular with local people.

"Qionghai people don't like to eat lean white pork from large-scale pig farms. Everyone still prefers traditional black pork. As a result of the reduction of pigs per household, black pigs are less and less bred, and prices have been higher than white pigs." Wang old man told reporters, now white pig 9.5 yuan per catty, black pig price per catty more than 10 yuan, or supply exceeds demand. There were still 17 black pigs in his column. Before he left the market, he had been targeted by pig vendors. "In a few months, these 17 black pigs can sell for more than 30,000 yuan."

In addition to raising pigs themselves, farmers can earn a considerable income from working in large-scale pig farms. Chen Tao and Xing Huayan are farmers in the eastern suburbs of Wenchang City. They work in Zhengda Pig Farm in Wenchang City. Chen Tao is a pig farm breeder, with a fixed monthly salary of 1800 yuan for food and accommodation, and a benefit salary of 200 yuan to 600 yuan after raising pigs. Xing Huayan is a pig farm buyer with a fixed monthly salary of 1500 yuan. Xing Huayan said, In pig farm work, There is no big expense, Two people earn about 50,000 yuan a year, Although not much money, But very stable.

Zhou Xiaohong, director of the Animal Husbandry Department of the Provincial Department of Agriculture, said that farmers raise pigs according to traditional methods. The breeding scale is small, the ability to prevent diseases is poor, the ability to resist market risks is weak, and it is not easy to make money. With the industrialization of pig farming, raising pigs by farmers themselves is only one of the ways to increase income, and it will be more and more common to obtain income from pig industrialization through other ways.
