* According to a report by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, in October 2023, the price of live pigs nationwide fluctuated downward.

According to experts, the main reason is still that African swine fever has not been well controlled. This has led to a situation where pigs that have escaped the disease have been sold, causing prices to fall. On the contrary, there have been times when some localities have had a local shortage of live pigs, causing prices to increase sharply.

Overall, pork supply is still guaranteed for the year-end consumption season thanks to abundant output from large farms and businesses.

In the coming time, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development emphasized that in order to stabilize the domestic meat production and consumption market, it is necessary to resolutely implement many measures and policies to combat speculation and price manipulation, ensuring the rights of livestock breeders and consumers; prevent and control epidemics, effectively organize vaccination; monitor, detect and promptly handle newly emerging epidemics; strictly handle cases of illegal buying, selling and transporting pigs of unknown origin, increasing the risk of infection and spread of dangerous diseases in domestic pig herds.
