Common card · No. 460563

The Jeju Black (Korean: 제주흑돼지; RR: Jeju heukdwaeji) is a Korean breed of domestic pig. It is named for and originates from Jeju Island, which lies to the south of the country in the Korea Strait. It is a small pig, with black skin and a smooth coat of hair. It has erect, unfolded ears, as well as a narrow snout. Under a co-operative agreement between North and South Korea, about US$160,000 worth of equipment was shipped in 2008 from Jeju Island to North Korea to build a Jeju Black pig farm in Pyongyang; breeding stock was to follow when the farm was ready.
