      abstract = {In the last two decades, Asia has become the world’s  fastest economically growing area. Countries in Southeast  Asia are growing at an increasing rate. For instance, the  average annual income is increasing from 4% to 8%,  population from 2% to 3%, urbanization from 4% to 6%, and  meat consumption from 4% to 8%. In this region, pork is the  most important source of meat, accounting for approximately  58% of total meat output. However, pig production in the  region is small in scale with more than 70% being  smallholders. Regional and national goals to reach the  international market threaten traditional pig production  due to its perceived low standard of output. Alongside,  natural resources are under high pressure from heavy  pollution emanating from pig production. Industrialization  has caused the migration of the pig population from rural  areas to the outskirts of big cities like Manila, Ho Chi  Minh, and Siemriep, or Phnom Penh. Industrialization has  also resulted in air, soil, and water pollution in these  cities. In addition, the region shares a huge area of the  South China Sea and by intensive pig keeping, surplus  nutrients and minerals flow into that sea. This paper aims  to: 1) provide an overview of the current pig production  situation in certain selected ASEAN countries, namely  Cambodia, Laos, Philippines, and Vietnam; 2) analyze how  these changes may occur over the coming years and how it  will affect the livelihoods of different types of pig  farmers (large, medium, small); 3) identify some of the  constraints that will need to be overcome (e.g.,  environmental impact, disease challenge, breed loss, effect  of globalization, marginalization of small farmers, climate  change issues); and 4) to pinpoint certain guidelines for  drawing up a regional strategy on pig production.},
