Report on Analysis of Costs and Benefits of China’s Multi-Scale Live Hog Production by Region (2004-2008)

Research Background

The set of reports entail the results from a cooperative research programme with Chinese
Academy of Sciences.

Updated versions of the report: “Analysis of Costs and Benefits of China’s Key Animal and
Poultry Products” were released in 2004 and 2006. We released another updated version for
the third time in February 2009.

There are four reports in this comprehensive report as follows:

“Report on Analysis of Costs and Benefits of China’s Multi-Scale Broiler Production by
Region”
“Report on Analysis of Costs and Benefits of China’s Multi-Scale Dairy Cattle, Beef Cattle
and Mutton Sheep Production by Region”
“Report on Analysis of Costs and Benefits of China’s Multi-Scale Live Hog Production by
Region”
“Report on Analysis of Costs and Benefits of China’s Multi-Scale Egg Chicken Production
by Region”

Research Objectives

This report involves key livestock and production animals including: egg chickens, broilers,
live hogs, beef cattle and dairy cattle etc.

The data in this report is based on more than 60000 typical household surveys, which were
carried out in more than 1550 counties all over China from 2000 to 2007 by the related state
departments and our team.

Report on Analysis of Costs and Benefits of China’s Multi-Scale Live Hog Production by Region (2004-2008)

In order to make it easy for comparative analysis, we have applied a relative index to the
data.

A systematical analysis of animal and poultry production costs and benefits on different
scales and in different regions of China will help provide insight on the following issues:
What are the characteristics of cost composition in the production of different kinds of
livestock?
How large are the gaps of production Costs and benefits among the animal and poultry
keepers at different scales and in different regions?
What are the prices of different animal and poultry products in different regions and how do
they vary? Etc.

Special Explanation:

1. Based on the data of monthly prices of different raw feed materials, livestock and poultry
in different regions, we used the stocking efficiency model to analyze changes in the benefits
of raising: egg chickens and broiler in key regions of China from 1998 to 2008.

2. The production Costs and benefits of different scale Live Hog production in the same
region were compared (2000-2007).

By answering the questions above, an in-depth understanding can be gained about the costs
and benefits of animal and poultry products in different regions and the competition capacity
of China’s animal and poultry products in international marketing.
The report on “Analysis of Costs and Benefits of China’s Key Animal and Poultry Products”
was finished in February 2009
