This week we were at the Ontario Pork Congress in Canada.
我们本周参加了加拿大的安大略猪肉大会。
Our Report:
我们看到：
Ontario is the most populous province in Canada with approximately 300,000 sows.
安大略省是加拿大人口最多的省份，母猪有大约30万头。
The producer base is diverse with only two producers with over 10,000 sows.
生产基地规模不一，只有两个生产者拥有超过1万头母猪。
Most of the pig production is operated by families who have a land base and feed their swine with their own crops.
多数养猪场由家庭管理，他们拥有自己的土地，并用自有的作物喂猪。
There are contract-finishing units but they are operated by family farms mostly working with other family farms.
家庭农场的合同制育肥场多数和其它家庭农场使用。
The families that operate most of the sow farms are to a very large extent of Dutch heritage. Good livestock people who like pigs, grow crops, and own land.
多数管理母猪场的家庭很大程度上是荷兰人的后裔。这是一群热爱猪、作物种植以及他们的土地的优秀畜牧人。
The agriculture industry in Ontario is prosperous. Farmland ranges from $10 – 20, 000 per acre. The appreciation of farmland values and livestock success has been a good business. This wealth has created a buffer to the ups and downs of the hog cycle.
安大略省的农业产业很繁荣。农田价格为每英亩10~20,000美元。农田的增值和畜牧业的成功造就了好的生意。财富创造了猪周期上升和下降的空间。
This week at the Ontario Pork Congress, we talked to many people. Issues were:
本周在安大略猪肉大会上，我们同很多人进行交谈。有以下问题：
How low will hogs get this fall? Next year?
今年秋季的生猪价格会有多低？明年呢？
Will there be enough shackle space?
会有足够的屠宰吊链吗？
Will Country of Origin Labelling (COOL) be rescinded by the US?
美国会不会撤消原产国标签制度？
Since Quality Packers in Ontario went bankrupt, Ontario has been short shackle space. 25% of production is moving 500 miles to get harvested. Good for truckers bad for producers. The lack of packer space almost guarantees no expansion in Ontario.
安大略的Quality屠宰厂破坏之后，安大略的屠宰吊链空间不足。25%的产量运往500英里之外进行屠宰。这对卡车司机是好消息，对生产者却不利。屠宰能力的缺失几乎决定了安大略不会出现扩张。
When the new harvest plant in Michigan opens what will that do? If COOL is gone US Eastern corn belt packers will become buyers for some Ontario hogs. More buyers is never bad for sellers.
密歇根的新屠宰厂何时可以开放？这又起到什么作用？如果原产国标签制度废除，美国东部玉米带的屠宰厂将会成为部分安大略生猪的买家。买家增多对于卖家来说永远不是坏消息。
At the Ontario Pork Congress, producers were mostly upbeat. Last year was their most profitable ever. Upbeat but wary of future markets. Most have been survivors of numerous hog cycles. They have seen what happened to their neighbours. Swine production is not for the faint hearted.
安大略猪肉大会上的生产者大多乐观。去年是他们最赚钱的一年。乐观，但同时又担心未来的市场。大部分人都是众多猪周期的幸存者。他们看到他们的邻居的遭遇。养猪生产不适合懦夫。
China
中国
This week Genesus signed a co-operation agreement with Cofco – China’s largest Agri-business. Cofco which will soon reach 200,000 sows in production will import from Genesus several Boeing 747 charters of Genesus Purebred registered swine to stock Cofco’s nucleus and multiplication system. It will be the largest importation of swine breeding stock ever to China. The Cofco – Genesus agreement also includes jointly selling and marketing Genesus genetics throughout China. The co–operation is a result of a five-year relationship with Cofco, which has included breeding stock, genetic management, and production support.
本周，加裕与中国最大的农业企业中粮集团签署了一份合作协议。中粮集团很快达到20万母猪存栏并从加裕进口几个波音747包机的加裕纯种注册猪到中粮的核心群及扩繁体系。这将成为中国有史以来最大数量的种猪进口。中粮集团与加裕公司的协议还包括在全中国共同销售和推广加裕种猪。这一合作是与中粮集团长达5年在种猪、育种管理及生产支持方面合作的结果。
All of us at Genesus are very proud to have the opportunity to work with Cofco, a world leading agri-business as they continue to grow their swine and meat business.
我们所有加裕人都非常自豪能有机会与世界的领先农业企业中粮集团合作。他们将继续拓展其在养猪和肉品的业务。
In 2014, Genesus lead the Global suppliers with 36% of all swine breeding stock imported to China.
在2014年，加裕以36%的比例在中国种猪的全球总进口量位居前列。
