Burnt rice drying in the sun
Yep, sold to the pig farmers...my missus always dries out left over rice from the rice cooker (not burnt), and gives to her cousin to feed his pigs.
I'm not a negative person, I encourage people all the time...it's usually to f**k off! But, whatever.

It's not unusual for people to eat the "crust" off rice. However I think the stuff left to dry in the street is usually for fodder.
I have seen this first hand in India. I didn't eat much pork there.spitthedog wrote:

Hello no!
I don't want no gay pig checking my arse out either.

and the interesting part is that they feed their pigs and chicken almost for free and still charge higher prices than in Europe. Greedy bastards.

Joke? Or forgetting to role big companies play in driving prices down and the impact of that on suppliers?For Real wrote:PSD_Kiwi wrote:Yep, sold to the pig farmers...my missus always dries out left over rice from the rice cooker (not burnt), and gives to her cousin to feed his pigs.

No joke Violet. I understand what you are saying BUT !!! you need about 300 to 400 kgs of food until a pig is ready for slaughter (in Cambodia probably more due to poor food quality, but they compensate that with lots of antibiotics-penicillin in this case- available for Riel 500 per vial). Do the calculation. It costs them $ 30 to $ 40 to produce a 100 kgs weighing pig and they sell it for $ 600 to the final consumer.

I think you're getting your regions mixed up. It's where we're from that pigs are full size and slaughtered at between 3 and 6 months of age. What magic do you think makes that possible?For Real wrote:No joke Violet.

I really dont understand your post, Starkmonster. What do you mean ? Yes, the average pig is slaughterd at 6 month of age. It still takes 400 kgs of food. In northern Europe (Netherlands...most pigs come from there) they manage to produce a pig for about Euro 60 to 70 (salaries for empoyees, power and other costs are NOT included). So please explain me why the product (pig, pork) in Cambodia should be more expensive than in the western world if the production costs are just a fraction of the costs in the western world !!!...and please explain why a pig in Cambodia produced for $ 40 should be sold for a $ 600 ???
It costs a lot more than $40 to raise a pig from 0-200kg. $40 would just about cover 1 sack of commercial pig feed. The going rate for a meat pig ready for slaughter in these parts is $2.50/kg. It's not a big profit margin.

That's incorrect Pedros. Please don't falsify the entire thread. Please read it again, read the facts and arguments again and reply to that otherwise it leads to nowhere.
And HEY...I take it easy, you take it easy....everybody is taking it easy (hopefully).....and nah well, eventually we are just exchanging thoughts and hope to come to a result.

How is it incorrect?
If you kill the pig yourself and not sell to the pig killing middle man, and sell the meat at market yourself, then obviously you can squeeze a bit more profit. Most people don't.
There is very little money in pigs, here or in the west. The only way is to do it on a commercial scale.

For pig food i've seen them go out to some free piece of land and cut down those huge leaves that resemble the leaf of a taro plant. They then put them in a huge wok and boil them up until soft. This seems to be supplement by slops from restaurants.
