Agriculture ministry to install GPS on food-waste trucks as ASF prevention
Posted on 2025-11-15 12:08:13
measure

The Ministry of Agriculture is requiring all food-waste transportation trucks
to be installed with GPS as a safeguard against tainted waste being
transported to hog farms.

The ministry restricted the use of food waste in rearing hogs in the
aftermath of last month's African Swine Fever breakout, as food waste was
implicated as the most likely cause.

Longer-term measures are being considered to strengthen monitoring of
food-waste handling to ensure it is properly treated, with amendments to the
Waste Disposal Act expected to be introduced next month.

In the meantime, GPS trackers will be mandatorily installed on food-waste
trucks by Dec. 7.

The outbreak occurred at a Taichung pig farm and didn't spread to other farms.
