The problem of private slaughter of pigs for thousands of years, the chilling moment of farmers, how does this change affect?
The impact of the problem of private slaughter of pigs.
It is an ancient tradition for farmers to slaughter pigs, and raising and slaughtering pigs in rural areas is a way for farmers to increase their income. However, recently the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MAFRD) issued a policy on the implementation of the Good Practice for Pig Slaughter, which requires that rural farmers be cracked down on in accordance with the law"Slaughter indiscriminately"Behavior. The policy requires farmers to send their pigs to a legal slaughterhouse for slaughter and obtain a legal slaughter certificate. Slaughtering pigs will be considered illegal and will be sanctioned and restricted by law.
The aim of this measure is to ensure food security, but it also means that farmers lose the opportunity to slaughter their own pigs and the resulting income. On the contrary, legal slaughterhouses are able to increase their income through legal slaughter, which increases national tax revenues and increases gross domestic product. However, this policy has also sparked a lot of controversy: why pigs killed by the same farmers are safe food when they are slaughtered in legal slaughterhouses and legally certified by slaughterhouses;And the pigs slaughtered by the peasants without permission were labeled"Not clean"、"Unsafe food"Labels?".
Problems and causes of farmers slaughtering pigs privately.
It is not easy for farmers to send their pigs to legal slaughterhouses for slaughter. First of all, legal slaughterhouses are usually located in cities, while rural areas are far away from slaughterhouses, and some farmers have to travel hundreds of kilometers to reach the nearest slaughterhouse. This leads to high travel costs and the need for a small vehicle capable of transporting goods, which is difficult to achieve for some farmers with relatively difficult economic conditions.
Secondly, pork sales** in rural areas are generally lower than in urban areas, which, combined with the various fees and costs of traveling to and from slaughterhouses, makes it difficult to sell pork in rural areas. If it is too high, it is difficult for farmers, and if it is too low, the meat will be at a loss, resulting in many farmers being unable to continue to engage in pork sales activities after the implementation of the slaughtering policy.
The breed of native pigs raised in the countryside is highly praised for its free-range approach, and the quality of its pork is superior to that of pork raised by large urban companies. As a result, many people choose to buy pork in the countryside. However, with the implementation of the slaughtering policy, the private slaughter of pigs by rural farmers will become a thing of the past.
Reflections and conclusions.
Although the policy of prohibiting farmers from slaughtering pigs privately is to ensure food safety, it has also caused problems for many farmers. Although farmhouse slaughtered pork is called"Garbage"However, due to the free-range breeding methods of farmers and the quality of local pigs, farmer-slaughtered pork is actually more popular with rural residents. Farmers slaughtering pigs privately can increase farmers' income and strengthen rural economic development.
When implementing slaughter management policies, more help and support can be considered, such as setting up rural quarantine points to facilitate farmers to slaughter and sell pork. In addition, it can also strengthen the supervision of legal slaughterhouses to ensure that they meet various quality management requirements and ensure food safety.
Raising, slaughtering and selling pork in rural areas is an important economic activity for farmers. Only by fully tapping the economic potential of the rural areas and realizing the industrialization of agriculture and the diversification of the rural economy can the peasants truly become rich. While getting rich, it is also necessary to ensure food safety, improve the management level of slaughterhouses, and ensure that people can eat safe and healthy pork.
In short, prohibiting rural farmers from slaughtering pigs privately has ensured food safety to a certain extent, but it has also brought trouble to some farmers. In the process of implementing relevant policies, the actual situation and interests of farmers must be considered, and full communication and consultation must be carried out to jointly find solutions to promote the sustainable development of the rural economy. While ensuring food security, it is also necessary to pay attention to the livelihood and stable income of farmers.
