No matter whether the Lin family's mysterious "son-in-law to be" is an expert or not, President Wu has guessed one thing.

That's the epidemic. It really broke out two months ago!

About two months ago, when the Medical Laboratory of the North American livestock slaughtering and Quarantine Association carried out routine epidemic prevention inspection on the ranch of tiger food group, the North American breeding giant, it found a new highly infectious classical swine fever virus.

The virus is very evil. At the initial stage of infection, there is almost no manifestation of clinical adverse reactions. Until 24-28 weeks, the animals will show fever, skin ulceration and other malignant symptoms, and will die within 1-2 weeks after the onset of the disease.

If it is slaughtered within 24 weeks, without careful examination and medical analysis in a professional virus laboratory, it is almost difficult to distinguish the difference between sick pork and healthy pork, and even the infected pigs can not be detected intensively in all parts.

Although the virus is not transmitted to humans, people who eat diseased pork will get fever, and even have severe symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and even coma according to the severity of the toxicity.

Even if it is high temperature stew, it is difficult to completely eliminate the impact!

And the most terrible thing is that although people themselves will not be infected with this virus, they may become the vector of the virus, which can be transmitted to other pigs through excreta or other metabolic forms.

If the epidemic prevention work had been actively carried out at that time, the plague would have been under control. The problem, however, is that it's almost impossible.

Agriculture is the pillar of North American economy, and animal husbandry is the most important part of North American agricultural structure.

Especially raising pigs.

After all, Xia Guo, the leader of the people's Federation, is the largest pork consumer in the world. In order to earn soft money, most of the pastures in North America are dominated by pork, followed by domestic consumption of beef.

This kind of industrial structure has been formed in the first two years since the integration of the people's Federation of China. And the breeding enterprises in North America are really striving for success. They have gained a lot of high technology through pork.

In recent years, pork export volume has reached a new high year by year. In order to improve productivity, the major farms in North America have made great efforts to squeeze the production efficiency per unit area to the limit.

If the epidemic report is spread, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the local breeding enterprises in North America.

In particular, the ranch where CSFV was first detected is the breeding ranch of tiger food, the largest breeding enterprise in North America.

If we let the outside world know that the farms of tiger food are contaminated by classical swine fever virus, it will not only threaten the survival of a breeding enterprise of tiger food, but also severely damage the pork export industry of North America!

This is not only about the source of foreign exchange income in North America, but also about the livelihood of thousands of jobs and tens of thousands of families.

If they go bankrupt, the impact will be worse than classical swine fever.

Therefore, under the pressure from the North American Department of agriculture and vested interests, the North American livestock slaughtering and Quarantine Association finally chose to compromise and hide the report.

Although this is not the same as giving up treatment, it is obvious to cut the flesh and mend the sores while continuing to produce and prevent the epidemic. And tiger food's attitude towards epidemic prevention is also quite negative. Compared with the epidemic situation, it obviously cares more about the sales volume of more than 10 million "products" sold every year. In order to catch up with the basket and deliver as much as possible, it even started a price war by reducing the price.

This is one of the main reasons for the surge in pork imports and the closure of small and medium-sized farms in October.

However, the paper can't hold the fire after all. As the infected area continues to expand, it even invades the cold chain transportation and food processing fields. In just two months, almost the entire ranch on the west coast has been occupied.

It was not until the import and export port on the east coast of Xiaguo detected abnormal pathogens from the imported pork and sent them to the medical laboratory for analysis that this layer of window paper was completely pierced.

good heavens!

How dare you feel that all the pork sent by your friend is poisonous?!

The only lucky thing is that most of the pork put on the market in the previous month were frozen stocks, and some of the pork obtained from slaughtering of adult pigs which had no symptoms of infection or had been infected for a short time.

After the shipment of this part of meat, the "inferior products" obtained after slaughtering of sick pigs with clinical symptoms will be put on the market.

After finding the problem, Xiaguo animal disease prevention and control center and customs immediately issued an orange warning, and emergency closed the pork import channel from North America to Xiaguo port.

I can't hide it this time.

In the face of more and more doubts, the North American livestock slaughtering and Quarantine Association finally could not bear the pressure, admitted the failure of epidemic prevention, and confessed the situation of swine plague which had been hidden for two months.

Public opinion in the international community is naturally in an uproar.

For this new type of classical swine fever virus, the regulatory authorities in North America not only did not take immediate action, but turned a blind eye to help those large farmers hide from the world and cover for pork export.

The United Nations of the people's Republic of China has condemned this extremely irresponsible behavior, as well as North America's serious dereliction of duty on the issue of epidemic prevention and control. Other countries that import pork from North America have issued orange or even red warnings.

The impact of the swine plague on the animal husbandry in North America is obvious. Almost all the pastures from the west coast to the central part of the country have been occupied. The largest pork producer of the people's Federation of China has directly and passively closed the pork export channel, because no one dares to buy it.

In addition to North America, Xia Guo, the world's largest pork consumer, is probably the worst.

In fact, this kind of industry with pollution risk and low industrial added value is not very attractive to Xia, not to mention the scarcity of cultivated land resources.

Instead of developing animal husbandry, it is far better to build a few more chip factories, which can not only drive a large industry, but also improve the trade weight of domestic currency among the countries of the people's Federation of China. You can just exchange what you need with money.

But now

It's clear that the epidemic is across the Pacific Ocean, but the foodies on this side of the Pacific Ocean are suffering together.

The pork that arrived on the shore must be inedible. The pork that has not been transported away from the port warehouse should also be destroyed. Even the problem pork that has entered the market should be recalled as far as possible.

As for the container ships floating on the sea

We can only let them go back where they came from.

Moreover, in order to prevent them from dumping the pork into the sea and spreading the virus into the marine ecosystem, the boat of the environmental protection organization of the people's Federation of China (pepo) almost followed them and watched them go back.

When the pork market was in a bad state, the futures market also staged a double play. North American pork futures directly plummeted through their positions, and those close to the delivery period even plummeted directly through their positions, resulting in the loss of many "pork treasures" with heavy positions.

However, the price of pork futures in Xiaguo has become an antenna.

At the gate of each slaughterhouse, there was a magic scene, that is, trucks full of pigs of different sizes were dragged into the slaughterhouse on this side, and trucks were driven out on that side.

The pig on the truck didn't know it. He walked around the gate of hell and went back.

Most of the owners of the farms who have already cleared their warehouses want to cry without tears. They smell the news that the price of pork has plummeted. Before they can cash out and leave, they find that they have cut their meat at the foot of the mountain.

It's more sour than a roller coaster ride

Even if the "premature meat" inventory created by the bankruptcy of a large number of small and medium-sized breeding bases is still enough to digest for several months, the market itself, which is dominated by emotion, cannot be measured by pure rationality.

Wholesale prices have not yet moved, the pork market in the market has begun to heat up.

Almost as soon as he closed his eyes and opened them all night, the old man who sold vegetables in the market watched the price of meat go up by one yuan.

What's more, he even turned around to buy a fish, carried a bundle of leeks, and then came back to see that it had completely changed. A kilo of it went up 50 cents on the spot!

Good guy, the price has gone up like a rocket!

All of a sudden, even a little bit unprepared.

In the three days after the autumn recruitment, Hao Yun found the news on the Internet, or heard it from Lin Jun, who admired him.

To be honest, after hearing the news, although his expression was still calm, his heart was completely muddled.

How many pigs are there in the new hope farm?

20000? Twenty five thousand?

In short, the change can be erased directly.

This time

I'm afraid he's really rich!
