900,000 farming households forecasted to stop operation

As for pig production, due to unsteady prices, livestock producers are not interested in re-stocking, and that only households with large scale farms have remained working with short-time plans. The price of pork has fallen to a record low in several years from the end of 2016 to mid 2017, resulting in difficulties for pig farmers who've fallen into debt or bankruptcy due to long-term losses.
