In general, the live hog market on April 25 recorded a clear difference between regions. The North was generally stable, but some localities still adjusted slightly downward. The Central - Central Highlands region was strongly differentiated, in which the Central Highlands and the South Central region maintained high prices, while the North Central region showed signs of cooling down. Notably, the South continued to maintain stable prices and the highest in the country.

Pig prices are good but farmers are still worried

Mr. Phan Van Dung, Deputy General Director of Vissan Company, shared that the price of live pigs traded in the Southern market recently was around 74,000 VND/kg, which is high, bringing good profits to farmers. However, due to the complicated developments of African swine fever and high prices of piglets, herd restoration is difficult for both small-scale farmers and large enterprises, according to Tuoi Tre Online newspaper.

Sharing the same view, a representative of a livestock enterprise said that African swine fever not only occurs in pigs, but also in sows and piglets. This causes many large farms to lack supply to the market, forcing them to buy pigs from other places.

“At this time, if you want to rebuild your herd, biosecurity is the top priority, but there are still certain risks because the vaccine has not yet brought about the expected results. Therefore, despite the high price of pigs, many farmers are still hesitant to rebuild their herds,” he said.

According to Mr. Dung, the demand for pork has also decreased, so the supply shortage is not too large, leading to the price of pork after a period of sudden increase has turned down, and in the past few days has been maintained at a level relatively suitable to supply and demand. The price of imported pork is high but the demand is low, causing the profits of retail businesses to decrease.
