Wuyi Black Pig

Wuyi Black Pig

　　【Main Production Areas and Distribution】 Produced in Nanfeng County, Yihuang County, Guangchang County, Shicheng County, and Zixi County in Jiangxi Province, as well as Pucheng County, Shaowu County, Jianning County, and Songxi County in Fujian Province. Distributed across counties surrounding the Wuyi Mountain Range at the border of Jiangxi and Fujian.

　　【Formation History】 The production area has distinct seasons, ample grain self-sufficiency, and year-round availability of green fodder. The practice of feeding pigs, from piglets to fattened hogs, with carbohydrate-rich grains and agricultural by-products has long been common in the region. Influenced by the cool, humid, foggy mountain climate and local feed conditions, this breed was gradually developed through continuous selective breeding.
