According to Quang Ninh newspaper , although the price of live pigs is likely to remain good for a long time, it is not easy for farmers to restore their herds because the disease situation is still complicated and the source of breeding pigs is limited. Meanwhile, retail businesses are also under pressure due to reduced purchasing power.

Mr. Phan Van Dung, Deputy General Director of Vissan Company, said 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.

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.

In the Southern region

The live hog market in the South last week mainly recorded a slight decrease or flat trend. The common price fluctuated around 74,000 - 75,000 VND/kg.

Meanwhile, provinces including Dong Nai, Ho Chi Minh City, Long An, Vinh Long, Hau Giang, Tien Giang, Bac Lieu, Tra Vinh, Ben Tre kept prices stable at around 74,000 - 75,000 VND/kg.
