A Chinese official on Wednesday sought to allay rising concerns over reported sharp declines in the domestic pig breeding industry and overreliance on foreign supply, saying that China has cut reliance on foreign imports as local supply is guaranteed. 
China now imports fewer than 10,000 breeding pigs a year, accounting for less than 10 percent of the total herd, Chen Yaosheng, chief scientist of the State Swine Reproduction System Project, said at a press conference held by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs on Wednesday.
