Extract

The problems which a country faces in the development of its animal industry and the solutions it finds effective can only be appreciated against the specific background of that country's whole economy and indeed its culture. The accepted technology of one developing country may be just as inappropriate in another as that of a developed country would be. With this in mind, a few words will be appropriate to describe the background to the pig industry in Taiwan and to its recent expansion.
