Asia is a leading market for pork production and consumption, contributing to over half of the world's pork supply. Smallholder-based swine management systems, which are sensitive to infectious diseases, are still prevalent in many Asian countries and directly linked to the vulnerability of the pig value chain at the national level. This is a major characteristic of the swine production in many Asian countries. For these traditional pig farming systems, the industry is now facing a critical turning point. In recent years, several transboundary swine diseases such as African Swine Fever (ASF), Classical Swine Fever, Foot and Mouth Disease, and Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) have been reported across Asia, posing a potential catastrophic impact on swine production and raising significant concerns.
