The magnitude of the Chinese economy and its influence on global supply markets are often discussed in the media. One such example is the importation of soya into China. It is anticipated that the demand from China would exceed 75 million tons in 2013, which is equivalent to more than argentina’s yearly output. It gets worse. Nevertheless, the problem of the one child per family restriction and the effect that this would have on future demand is the driving force behind this developing monster. In 2012, it was projected that there were 1.35 billion people living in China; however, projections indicate that this number would drop to 1.27 billion by the year 2050. More than half a billion people in China are employed in farming and agriculture, with about 300 million of them working directly in agricultural production. The pig sector is an area of agriculture that should not see a decrease in demand, since pork is a popular food. With a national sow of herd of roughly 50 million sows, China is the greatest producer of pork in the world. This results in the country producing an estimated 50 million tons of pig meat annually. In this sense, this is equivalent to the whole amount of pork that is produced elsewhere in the globe. The market for imported pork is expected to continue expanding at a consistent pace. This was put into perspective by the staff of agjobstoday, which is a 100 percent worldwide employment platform. They said that if all of the finishing pigs produced in china in a single year were to be lined up nose to tail, they would span the great wall of china 47 times over in length.
