Spain's Pork Industry Scrambles to Survive Swine Fever Crisis

As countries worldwide halt imports amid a swine fever outbreak, Spain's massive pork industry fights to prevent catastrophic losses and protect its global market share.
Spain's sprawling pork industry, the world's largest exporter of pork, is grappling with the looming threat of African swine fever (ASF), a highly contagious and often fatal virus that has already devastated pig populations across Europe and Asia.
The ASF outbreak in Spain has triggered alarm bells throughout the country's $25 billion pork sector, as major buyers like China, the US, and Japan have already halted imports to protect their own livestock from the deadly disease.
