Shenzhen Deputy Mayor Says Shenzhen Is Not Suitable for Pigs

On the 20th, the Standing Committee of the Shenzhen Municipal Committee and the Deputy Mayor Lu Rui attended the on-the-spot meeting of illegal breeding and remediation work. He said that today's Shenzhen is not suitable for raising pigs, and legitimate pig farmers need to move out of Shenzhen through industrial transfer.

Lu Ruifeng explained that when Baoan raised chickens to export pork to Hong Kong to earn foreign exchange, it could solve some economic problems. However, after so many years passed, the land carrying capacity of Shenzhen is difficult to sustain. The openness of the city, the total amount of pollutants discharged, and the amount of car ownership have already made Shenzhen overwhelmed. People in Shenzhen can't self-sufficient in “eat pork” and can only be resolved through regional cooperation and the establishment of “vegetable basket projects” in cities in the Mainland. At present, Shenzhen's lawful pig farmers also have to transfer out of Shenzhen through industrial transfer and subsidy mechanisms, and it is impossible for illegal farmers to retain them.

“Most illegal fish farmers are not from Shenzhen. They have not applied for production and operation licenses, nor have any sewage disposal measures, and no food safety supervision. It is impossible to come and come, want to raise and maintain, and want to occupy the land and occupy the land. Illegal culture can never be tolerated!" Lv Ruifeng emphasized.
