Pig and Dairy Delegation from China

To Herning, Denmark

Following a successful pig farming delegation to Chengdu, Sichuan Province, in November 2023 and a successful dairy delegation to Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, in May 2024, the Danish Agriculture & Food Council (DAFC) and the Royal Danish Embassy in Beijing invite you to participate in an incoming pig and dairy delegation from China to Denmark. The focus areas of this delegation will incl. the pig farming and dairy value chain and targeted towards Chinese companies from all across China incl. but not limited to e.g. Sichuan and Inner Mongolia. By 2022, there were 2,763 companies in Sichuan specialized in pig related business, and with a total provincial production output of 65.48 million heads Sichuan ranks as the No. 1 position at national level. Some of these scaled pig producers cover the entire value chain: from genetics, feed, farm design, stable equipment, farm management, slaughtering and consumer products. Similarly, Inner Mongolia ranks as the No. 1 position at national level in terms of dairy production with the majority of the largest companies located here. Key challenges for the two sectors in China are on how to improve production efficiency, how to lower production costs, and how to produce in a more sustainable way. The delegation is organized to showcase Danish strongholds, shine light on Danish solutions in pig and dairy production, further strengthen the knowledge of Danish company solutions and to establish interaction between Danish and Chinese companies.
