CHICAGO - Cargill Inc shuttered animal-feed mills in China in recent months partly because the rapid spread of a fatal hog disease has reduced demand, a company executive said on Friday.
African swine fever, for which there is no cure and no vaccine, kills almost all infected pigs, though it does not harm people. The outbreak accelerated closures of animal-feed mills in coastal regions of China that were also prompted by a westward shift over the past decade of the areas in which livestock are raised, Warta said. Most of the facilities will not be re-opened even if Beijing gets African swine fever under control, Warta said.Cargill still sees a bright future for its animal-nutrition business in China, Warta said.
