Guangzhou to close live pig wholesale markets

Southeastern China’s Guangzhou city will shut down live pig wholesale markets in 2010, in order to improve quality control on hog production, slaughtering and sales, according to a report from Southern Countryside Paper.
Under the new policy, live pigs will be transported from hog farms directly to large-scale slaughterhouses, skipping hog wholesale trade markets that cause difficulties in product traceability, the report said.
