South Korea addresses eighth African swine fever outbreak at a Gimpo pig farm.

South Korea is responding to an African swine fever outbreak at a pig farm in Gimpo, marking the eighth case this year. Emergency disinfection and inspections are underway to prevent the disease's spread, especially with the approaching Chuseok holiday, which increases movement of people and vehicles. Authorities have implemented quarantine measures and detailed inspections, but the impact on the pork market is minimal, affecting only 0.03% of the pig population.
