Ranchhand - 5/25/2012 22:45 "For your information, the protein consumed by the Chinese people consists today of about 70% pork, 25% chicken and 5% beef, fish and seafood. Another major limiting factor that is going to end up causing China to produce much less pork and chicken and to import a lot more of both is that China does not have the land needed for disposing of the animal waste (the manure). This is, as you know, not an issue generally in the U.S. as livestock and poultry waste can and is being applied to productive U.S. farmland as a cost effective and renewable resource replacement for commercial fertilizer. This is not the case in China." Exert from Bill Helming "Ag Sector Outlook, May 22,2012"
