Still recovering from the African swine fever outbreak in late 2025, Taiwan’s pig industry remains in an uncertain phase in early 2026. In April–May, Taiwan was reinstated as ASF-free by WOAH, and export channels gradually reopened, including fresh pork shipments to Singapore and phased market access recovery in the Philippines. At the same time, structural pressures remain, including global trade adjustments and stricter biosecurity requirements, which continue to affect both production costs and market pricing, though the full impact is still evolving. Industry restructuring is accelerating, and producers are under increasing pressure to improve efficiency and competitiveness in a changing market environment. If support is needed, we are happy to share experience from France and Asia (China, Taiwan, Vietnam) in performance improvement and cost control.
Wishing you an insightful May.
This year marks Cooperl’s 60th anniversary in the swine industry, and we were delighted to share our “Farm to Fork” philosophy and solutions at Livestock Taiwan Expo. During the exhibition, we showcased our French genetics, innovative equipment to improve production performance, and smart farming solutions, while exchanging ideas with industry partners on efficiency, innovation, and the future of pig farming. For 60 years, Cooperl has continued investing in the swine industry from genetics and production to smart farming management with innovation, efficiency, and sustainability at the heart of everything we do.
In March, we hosted an online session focusing on key principles and practical applications of biosecurity in pig farms.The session covered core biosecurity concepts and how external and internal management measures help reduce disease risks, including personnel flow control, zoning systems, one-way movement principles, and standardized cleaning and disinfection procedures.
We also discussed African Swine Fever (ASF) risks and highlighted data showing the positive impact of improved biosecurity on mortality, feed efficiency, and overall production performance.
台灣豬產業最新動態 - Taiwan Pig Industry Update
防疫成果與出口市場重啟
Disease status recovery & export reopening
台灣於2026年4月6日由WOAH正式恢復為非洲豬瘟非疫區，象徵三大主要豬病防疫成果進入國際認可階段。隨後新加坡率先恢復進口台灣生鮮豬肉，菲律賓也於4月底核准多項豬肉產品（含種豬、精液及冷凍豬肉）恢復進口並於5月中旬逐步生效。
Taiwan was reinstated as African swine fever-free by WOAH on 6 April 2026, marking international recognition of its major livestock disease control achievements. Following this, Singapore resumed imports of fresh pork, and the Philippines approved the resumption of multiple pork product categories, including breeding pigs, semen, and frozen pork, with phased implementation starting mid-May.
產業結構升級加速
Structural upgrading of the pig industry
台灣豬肉產業持續推動智慧養殖、密閉式豬舍與能源化利用（如沼氣系統），以提升生物安全與長期競爭力。
Taiwan’s pig industry continues to adopt smart farming, closed housing systems, and energy recovery solutions such as biogas, aiming to enhance biosecurity and long-term competitiveness.
廚餘養豬轉型壓力持續
Swill-feeding transition pressure
2027年全面禁止廚餘養豬政策持續推進，產業正逐步調整飼養模式並強化合規與追溯管理。
The 2027 full ban on swill feeding continues to drive structural change, with farms progressively shifting toward regulated feed systems and enhanced traceability requirements.
祝大家有個愉快的一天!
Have a nice day everyone!
