Last September, one man called to the policy in the city of Paju in Gyunggi-do. That is about the problem of pigs and it is the start point of African Swine Fever in Korea.

Every farmer of raise pigs were confused and felt desperate. Thus, what is ‘African swine fever’ is exactly? How much does African swine fever affect the demand and supply of pork in Korea?
