The large-scale integrated pig farm in China’s Xiangyang City is a joint development project between Charoen Pokphand Group and the local Chinese government to promote pig farm management while, improving the quality of life of corn farmers. This project exhibits the comprehensive supply chain management of large-scale corn cultivation to support animal feed production, pig farming, food processing, and logistics transportation throughout the value chain of modern agriculture.
The integrated farming project (Crop cultivation and livestock farming) covering ten districts and 23 villages, the project engages 216 farming households, benefiting a total of 3,240 individuals. This has led to increased income for local communities and has generated tangible social impact through a fully integrated production value chain.
The objectives of the project are to manage waste from pig farms under the zero waste framework, such as treated wastewater from farms and organic sludge generated from the biogas system are reused to benefit maize cultivation areas, helping to increase farmers’ income. Additionally, the project contributes to strengthening national food security throughout the modern agricultural supply chain.
