Why are there few people raising pigs in rural areas now?

Why are there fewer and fewer people raising pigs in rural areas now? In the past, every family in the countryside had a lot of fields and produced a lot of food every year. However, when these foods cannot be eaten or sold, they will be processed into some foods to feed animals, such as chickens, ducks and pigs. Therefore, many people will raise some pigs and kill them during the Chinese New Year, so that they can live a very rich year.

More importantly, we usually eat the leftover vegetables and rice, which can be given to pigs, without wasting food and increasing income. So in the countryside at that time, every household would raise some pigs. But why don't rural people raise pigs now? Today we will explain why this phenomenon occurs.

Because the transportation in the city is very convenient now, and the industry in our country is developing rapidly, many young people will gather in the city to work. However, most people in the family are old people and children. These old people have worked hard all their lives, and usually only take their children or grow some vegetables to meet their daily life. Besides, the old man is too old to eat much meat.

Everyone knows that pigs have a lot of fat. Too much fat intake will lead to too high body fat, which will make us suffer from diseases such as hypertension or cholecystitis. Therefore, at home, these old people generally don't raise pigs. Moreover, many large-scale farms now raise pigs, and these professional farms produce a large number of finished pigs every year and put them on the market. A large number of pigs raised by these professional farms are much cheaper in the market than those raised in rural areas.

Therefore, people in rural areas want to eat meat, and there is no need to raise pigs themselves. Moreover, life in the countryside is much richer than before. People often choose to eat fish and chickens and ducks, so they prefer to raise some chickens and ducks to meet their daily meat needs. These animals are more convenient to raise, and they don't smell so bad. You can also bring them some egg food.

At the same time, with the younger generation entering the city, many old people also moved to the city. Now the money earned by working is not less than that earned by raising pigs, and pigs are also worried about the fluctuation of market prices. Sometimes raising a batch of pigs, catching up with the bad market, will not only make money but also lose money. Many fields at home have been abandoned, and rural people will not have extra food to raise pigs, so more and more farmers will not raise pigs any more.
