I had no idea. It first was ID's in August, only 8 months ago. And that quickly it's spread across all of China? About 50% of the world's pork could be affected? Time to stock up on Bacon! Watch pricing.

it spreads like that 'cause of all those industrial sized pig farms.

yeah.we deffintly need to stock up on pork now.i'll be doing my primary shopping in at least 4 days.so i'll be stocking up on pork then.

This disease is nothing new. Europe has been dealing with it since 1957. It has spread through the wild boar population.

The Czech Republic managed to completely eradicate the disease in March of this year after an outbreak began in 2017.

Pork prices could jump this year, stay elevated into 2020 due to China's pig crisis

As far as I can tell the pork "crisis" in China isn't having any impact on weaner pig prices in my area. It's always best to raise your own food as much as possible anyway.

If pork does climb in price it won't be because of china, the 2 big storms in the mid-west will impact the prices including practically every food on the shelves at the stores also fuel prices.

I haven't noticed pork prices jumping in our area but it is not something I look for since we raise our own. I guess I will try to keep an eye out to see.

 

[jimLE]

i haven't been to the store yet.so i don't know one way or another when it comes to where i shop at.but yet 2 folks i know of said that haven't seen a rise in price yet.and that they stocked on bacon and other pork products.

 

[Arcticdude]

I've never seen Grown in China pork where I shop. I always thought enough pork was raised in the US that we didn't need to import it from China. But I could be wrong.
Oh well, we have a freezer full of our own pork that we raised.

Smithfield foods inc in the US is owned by WH Group of china.

WH Group owns circle four farms in Utah, California pork processor clougherty, farmer John, Saag’s specialty meat brands, PFFJ LLC and 3 of Hormel Farms. All though WH Group says it won’t import its pork into this country, time will tell!
