　　The production area has a mild climate and is one of the major grain-producing regions in Sichuan Province. It boasts abundant grain, green fodder, and by-products from grain processing, offering favorable feeding conditions for pig farming. Farmers in the region traditionally raise more pigs and fatten them to produce manure. Breeding selection emphasizes large skeletal structure, long snouts, straight backs, and sturdy limbs. Neighboring areas often purchase piglets from the production region, stimulating local enthusiasm for raising sows and resulting in a large population of breeding stock.
