Government to ban food-waste pig feeding from 2027, with 1-year transition
The Cabinet has approved a plan to phase out the use of food waste in pig
farming by December 31 of next year - paving the way (為…鋪路) for a full
ban starting in 2027.
The move is part of the government's efforts to prevent African swine fever
outbreaks.
Under the policy, food-waste feeding will be permitted only under strict
conditions during that period, after which it will be fully prohibited.
Farmers will be given a one-year grace period and financial incentives to
switch to commercial feed.
During the transition year, farms may use food waste only with local
government approval and after they meet several requirements - including
installing heat-treatment and video monitoring systems and adding G-P-S
tracking to transport vehicles.
Only business-generated food waste, animal by-products and slaughterhouse
scraps (廢料，廚餘) will be allowed - and all household food waste will be
banned from use on pig farms.
