Regional commonalities In the commercial session, titled “Different regions – similar challenges,” four presentations revealed commonalities in pig production in four countries: China, South Africa, Latin America and Denmark. For example, the growing human population and the allocation of grains for human consumption will continue to the raise the cost of feed ingredients. In addition, each region pointed to the issue of grain quality as it relates to the negative effects of mycotoxins and the ongoing controversy about genetically modified grains. In each region, the environment and animal welfare have becoming increasingly more important across the board. There are cultural and religious factors swaying the preferences of particular regions, e.g. in some countries pork consumption is low compared with poultry and beef. The speakers suggested they “need to find solution to this challenge” through export and education efforts.
