#1 top producing companies in China include:

- Smithfield (US company with a China operation)
- Wens
- Muyuan Foodstuffs
- COFCO
- Truein Agri
- Zhengbang

it is more than a food issue or an import/export issue; it hits at a very important part of the financial and economic structure of China-- of course since Banking in China is almost opaque, the problem of bad debt in this sector is almost completely unknown

#4 China also has very loose or non-existent health codes when dealing with swine, making containing and preventing this almost impossible.

The pigs are coming home to die, so to speak.

#9 Heard a different take - the ChinaPigApocalypse has radically reduced the demand for soybean (what? you thought it was all going into tofu?) so the reduction in imports from the US was making a virtue of necessity.
