• Championing Eco-friendly Practices at Chun-Fa-Cheng Pig Farm

Nestled beneath the Dawu Mountains, the Chun-Fa-Cheng Pig Farm is a testament to Odiva's environmental dedication. At this self-operated facility, every aspect of the Pinpu Black Pig's growth has been considered. From carefully adjusted feed formulas to an idyllic barn environment, Odiva ensures the well-being of its livestock. Moreover, the pigs enjoy fodder sourced from local agricultural by-product and water sourced from Dawu Mountain, purified with advanced RO technology. This not only guarantees the meat's safety and reliability but also highlights the brand's commitment to environmental wellness.

• Towards an Advanced Green Energy Farm

Odiva's aspirations extend beyond just responsible farming. The brand envisions the establishment of an "Advanced Green Energy Farm," aligning its practices with global sustainable goals. Such a facility would not only produce premium pork but also contribute significantly to reducing the agricultural sector's carbon footprint.

Moreover, Odiva's dedication to transparency shines through its product traceability. With QR codes on product packaging, consumers can trace the journey of their pork right from birth to their plate, promoting conscious consumption.
