Genesus exports 850 head of purebred pigs to China

About 850 head of Genesus-registered pigs will be flown to Chinese buyer - Giastar, in Chengdu, Sichuan province.

Giastar is a feed manufacturer with one million tonne capacity. Giastar also has 7,000 sows in breeding stock production, formerly PIC, now moving to Genesus. These pigs will be placed into a newly constructed barn, specifically designed for use as a nucleus.

Giastar's goal is five million pigs in production. They currently have a meat processing facility with 500,000 head capacity.
