The Agricultural Development Bank of China (ADBC), the country's only rural policy bank, said it would provide a total of 50 billion yuan (about 7.15 billion U.S. dollars) of credit in the next three years to support hog production.
It would reinforce medium- and long-term credit support for leading enterprises to meet their fund demand for the construction of production bases, said the ADBC in a statement.
Meanwhile, the bank will innovate the use of supply chain and blockchain technologies to provide online financial services for small and medium-sized firms and pig farmers and lower their financing costs.
The ADBC will also work to support pig breeding, production of pig feed and the development of cold-chain logistics to help curb the growth of pork prices, it said.
Established in 1994, the ADBC is under the direct leadership of the State Council to raise funds through a market based on national credit to support the development of agriculture, rural areas and farmers.
