Reverse Merger Activity

On March 31, 2010  Southern Livestock completed a reverse merger with a  Form 10 shell. The company has yet to commence trading.

Company Snapshot:

Breeding, raising and selling live hogs.

 Industry Snapshot:

  • China is the world’s largest hog producer and pork consumer and dominates the global pig meat market. According to statistics from the US Department of Agriculture, China produces 50% of all the pig meat production in the world.
  • China consumes over 450 million hogs a year. In terms of meat consumption in China, beef accounts for approximately 9%, poultry for approximately 21% and pork for approximately 65% of total China consumption, according to the National Statistics Bureau of China.
  • Urbanization and consequent growth of the middle class (estimated 250 million people in 2008) along with PRC policies protecting the swine industry reflect the importance of hog production as a social, economic and security issue for the consumer market in China. China has enacted a number of laws to induce swine production.
  • A growing middle class increases demand for pork products and helps long term price appreciation. While pork spot prices fluctuate, especially recently with the psychological effect of the “swine flu”, the overall long term price trends are expected to continue to move up in the foreseeable future
