The Shanghai wholesale meat market gets started just after midnight, and by sunrise over 2,500 hogs have been traded and distributed throughout the city. China is the world's largest producer and consumer of pork. The country has made great progress in advancing food safety, but weak links persist. Much of the pork is loaded onto motorbikes like this one, which will travel on highways and city streets in rainy morning traffic, to be delivered to parts of the city some 10km away.
