Take a look at the report! Make it based on your situation! The pig industry is facing the third risk. The environmental protection cost of pig farming needs a sharing mechanism. "We have searched all over neighboring Yunxiao County, Zhangpu County, and Changtai County. For several months, we have not found a suitable place to build a pig farm. We have 500 sows." The pigs are still being fostered in other people’s pig farms.” On May 23, Guo Ruihua, the owner of Zhangzhou’s “Municipal Urban Non-staple Food (Pig) Base” and Zhangzhou Shunyi Pig Farm, told reporters with a sad look on her face. Guo Ruihua’s dilemma stems from an environmental crisis in Fujian Province. At the end of February this year, Fujian Province rectified the pig industry in the Jiulong River Basin, the second largest water system in the region: All breeding farms within 1 kilometer on both sides of the main stream and 500 meters on both sides of the tributaries were demolished. New and expanded farms within a kilometer range, and farms outside prohibited construction areas must meet emission standards within the specified time, otherwise they will be closed. Market risk and disease risk have always been regarded as the "two major killers" of the pig industry. As environmental protection efforts in various places increase, frequent environmental protection storms are becoming the third risk encountered by the pig industry. Thousands of farmers were damaged. The Shunyi pig farm in Guokeng Town, Zhangzhou City was built on a hillside not far from the bank of the Jiulong River. Before April 15, Guo Ruihua reluctantly disposed of 3,000 pigs and 500 sows. They were also transferred to other pig farms. "At present, in addition to a bank loan of 1 million yuan, there are also loan sharks of more than 800,000 yuan. The hard work of more than ten years is all here." Guo Ruihua said. In accordance with the unified deployment of the Fujian Provincial Government, Longyan and Zhangzhou began to carry out comprehensive water environment improvement actions in the Jiulong River Basin in February, and the improvement of the pig industry is an important one. Zhangzhou City requires that by February 28, all farms must be demolished and closed in the prohibited construction zone covering 1 kilometer on both sides of the main stream of the Jiulong River and 500 meters on both sides of the tributaries. Longyan City also requires that by March 5, the breeding farms within 1 km of both sides of the main stream of the Jiulong River Beixi will be closed or demolished; before May 5, the breeding farms within 1 km of both sides of the tributaries will be closed or demolished. Within about 20 days after the start of the rectification operation, more than 700,000 pigs from more than 10,000 farmers in Zhangzhou City’s construction-prohibited area needed to be cleared. Pig dealers took the opportunity to lower the price. According to the market conditions at that time, the price of live pigs was about 5.8 yuan/catty, but the pig dealers lowered the price to more than 4 yuan/catty, which meant a loss of more than 1 yuan per catty. The price of fertile sows has also plummeted. A sow normally sells for 1,500 yuan, but during the rectification period it was less than 1,000 yuan. Those with fetuses were picked up by other pig farmers, and those without fetuses were bought by pig dealers without knowing where to sell them. where. Almost every household in Dongxi Village, Guokeng Town raises pigs. As soon as you walk into the village, you can see demolished pig houses in front of and behind the houses. Lin Youchun, 69, and his wife raise two sows, which are considered the smallest. He said that more than a year ago, he heard that pig farming was doing well, so he sold his cows to build a pig pen and raised two sows, hoping to make money for retirement. I just gave birth to 19 piglets two years ago, and before I could sell any of them, I encountered a rectification operation. The sow cost 850 yuan a head, and the piglets weighing 50 to 60 pounds were sold for 150 yuan. I didn’t make a penny and lost a lot of money. . Preliminary estimates show that the subsidy funds used by Zhangzhou City for farmers to dismantle pig houses amounted to 89.52 million yuan. The demolished and idle pig houses themselves were worth more than 160 million yuan, and the loss of pig prices due to price reduction, diseases, etc. also exceeded 100 million yuan. , totaling more than 300 million yuan. Drinking water and eating meat is difficult to have both. "Before the dilemma of maintaining pigs and ensuring draft, the government can only ensure the safety of draft. Although farmers have made huge sacrifices, many farmers are crying while knocking on the pig house." Zhangzhou one Said a cadre involved in the rectification and inspection work. Since mid-January, the water quality of the Jiulong River has deteriorated and once posed a threat to the water supply security of Zhangzhou and Xiamen. The pig industry is one of the main sources of pollution in the Jiulong River. Many pig farms discharge their excrement directly into the river, and some farmers throw sick and dead pigs into the river. Treatment is urgent. On both sides of Guokeng Bridge in Guokeng Town, Longwen District, are the urban water intakes of Zhangzhou City and Xiamen City respectively. The town of Guokeng has a population of 20,000 and raises more than 100,000 pigs. Pig raising is one of the main sources of income for the people, but pig raising has worsened the environment. Local cadres said that the water in the ditches in the village was all black, there were swarms of flies in farmers' homes, and the smell of pig manure could be smelled from a distance.

Many pig farms in Chaoyang Town, adjacent to Guokeng, are outside the prohibited construction zone. The reporter once saw in Zhangbin Village that many houses were drying pig manure in the open space. Every household drying pig manure became a big sight. . Comrades from the local agricultural department in Zhangzhou said that the state's encouraging policies for the pig industry in recent years are the main reason for the surge in pig breeding in Zhangzhou, and the "harsh measures" urgently introduced due to environmental pressure have indeed made the public have a clear understanding of the national policy. "Complaint". "When meat prices rise, we call on farmers to raise more pigs. When the environmental pressure is high, pigs are restricted. Pig raising is not the cause of water pollution. But now farmers are ordered to break down pens and kill pigs. Who will bear their losses?" Zhangzhou City Chaoyang Town, Longwen District, is also a big pig-raising town. Some pig farms in the town are outside the prohibited construction zone. According to the requirements, these pig farms need to undergo renovation of environmental protection facilities to achieve emission standards. A pig farmer in Zhangbin Village is digging a sewage collection tank and sedimentation tank to comply with the government's environmental protection requirements. "The current price of pigs is only about 4.8 yuan/jin. Pig raising is basically a loss, and we have to invest in environmental protection. How can we bear it." The environmental protection costs of pig raising need a sharing mechanism. "Pollution control in the pig industry is a long-standing problem. , the most critical one is financial investment,” said a scientific and technical personnel from the Energy and Environmental Protection Station of Zhangzhou Agriculture Bureau. According to reports, a 100-pound pig excretes about 5 kilograms of feces a day, and the sewage generated by flushing the pig house is about 30 kilograms. Therefore, pig farms are often located in areas with abundant water resources, but large amounts of sewage are discharged directly into rivers, which in turn causes serious pollution. Liu Wenbiao, deputy mayor of Zhangzhou City, said that the key to the pig industry is to plan well and implement relatively centralized breeding and centralized pollution control within the planned area. The Zhangzhou Municipal Government requires that to achieve emission standards or zero emissions by the end of October, pig farms with more than 50 pigs must conduct environmental assessments and implement emission permits. Environmental monitoring will be strengthened and environmental law enforcement will be stepped up to ensure that emissions meet emission standards. Can the expected policy effects be achieved by relying on "iron-fisted law enforcement"? Environmental protection departments believe that it is very difficult to enforce the law and deal with industrial pollution. It is very difficult to "block" it by law enforcement alone. If the cost of law enforcement is too high, it may become "too much to manage". situation. An environmentalist said that people should be sent into villages to inspect households. Those found to have substandard emissions must first be ordered to make rectifications according to law. Only those who fail to make rectifications within the expiration date can be punished. If they do not accept the punishment, they must apply to the court for enforcement. "There are tens of thousands of pig farmers in the Jiulong River Basin, and one family will hold you back for several months. How much law enforcement force is needed to have enough!" The pollution control idea of ??"who pollutes, cleans up" that is common in the industrial field has also been applied to Jiulong River. In the field of pig industry pollution control. In this regard, a cadre from the Zhangzhou Municipal Agriculture Bureau said, “It is difficult to have both cheap pork and non-polluting pigs. Pollution in the pig industry is not only caused by farmers, but also by consumers. As long as It is unfair for farmers to bear this burden. "How much investment is needed to clean up the pollution in the pig industry? Calculations from the Zhangzhou City Agriculture Department show that if the "zero emission" technology is used, a pig will cost 100 yuan, and a pig will cost 86 yuan in a three-dimensional breeding model. Yuan. The reporter learned that with the current pig price, the gross profit of a pig sold for slaughter is less than 100 yuan. Zhangzhou City currently has a population of 1.8 million in the Jiulong River Basin alone. Based on 86 yuan per head, an initial investment of 150 million yuan in environmental protection is required. In 2008, Zhangzhou City's local fiscal revenue was 6.049 billion yuan, and this investment accounted for about 2.4% of the local fiscal revenue. Professor Yu Zhangbao from the Department of Political Science of Xiamen University said that it is a general trend to raise the environmental protection threshold of the pig industry in the future, but it is not reasonable to bear the environmental protection costs entirely on pig farmers and local governments, and it will inevitably affect the implementation and effectiveness of local government environmental policies. . The key to fundamentally solving the pollution problem in the pig industry and preventing the environmental crisis from becoming a new risk factor impacting the pig industry is to establish a reasonable environmental protection cost-sharing mechanism.
