Taiwan Sugar Corp., Taiwan’s largest hog-producing company normally with an inventory of 300,000 heads, plans to pour RMB1.3 ~ 1.8 billion in Jiangsu to set up an integrative hog enterprise capable of 1 million heads a year. Its target market is Shanghai.
Large hog enterprises enjoy a bright prospect, because hog production and crude processing are exempt from taxes in China and consumers are increasingly aware of food safety.
But with the rise of integrative hog companies in the mainland, Taiwan companies face some competition in the mainland in the future. Some large meat companies, feed producers and slaughterhouses are busy developing themselves into integrative companies engaged in business from feed production to livestock production and to meat-processing.
