SURROUNDED by mountains in a remote part of south-western China, Xinguangan's first large-scale, modern pig farm is getting ready to produce its first offspring.

By the end of the year, 10,000 sows will live inside two huge barns on this 73-hectare site, producing up to 280,000 piglets annually, or about 20,000 tonnes of pork.
