China rolled out measures to keep hog production capacity stable to ensure the safe supply of pork and stabilize the prices, said a State Council executive meeting held on Wednesday.

Thanks to stabilized production, hog production capacity in China has returned to the average level, the meeting noted. 

It said more market-based efforts should ease fluctuations and ensure stability in supplies and prices.

The meeting called for providing stable, long-term supportive policies to keep pig farmers motivated, establishing a counter-cycle adjustment mechanism on hog production. 

These policies would also ensure solid work on major disease prevention and control and enhance emergency adjustment on pork reserves.
