News, forecast of live pig price on May 8, 2025

On May 8, 2025, the price of live pigs in many areas, especially the Mekong Delta and Dong Nai, continued to decrease, causing difficulties for farmers. Pressure from high feed costs, disease and herd management has caused many challenges for the livestock industry. However, solutions such as traceability and technology application are being proposed to stabilize the market.

In the Mekong Delta, the price of live pigs today fluctuated at a low level, down about 5% compared to last month. The region currently has about 1.9 million pigs, accounting for 61% of agricultural production value. Sharp increases in animal feed costs, combined with the recurrence of African swine fever, have pushed farmers into a difficult situation. According to Mr. Nguyen Van A, an agricultural expert, "Excess supply and high production costs are putting great pressure on the supply chain."

Dong Nai, the country’s major livestock hub, has also seen a similar situation. In April 2025, the province culled more than 1,300 pigs due to disease, undermining farmers’ confidence. In addition, the relocation of farms out of residential areas to meet environmental regulations has further increased costs. “Farmers are struggling to balance costs and disease risks,” said a leader of Dong Nai’s Department of Agriculture.

Similarly, in Lang Son, although the total pig herd reached 188,693, up 3.86% over the same period, the price of live pigs today is still under downward pressure. In April 2025, this province culled 15 pigs due to two outbreaks of African swine fever, but vaccination measures and containment of the outbreak helped control the situation, with no new cases recorded after 21 days.

To solve this problem, experts suggest promoting traceability, applying software to manage the total herd and declaring livestock farming online. These solutions help make the supply chain transparent, minimize disease risks and stabilize prices. "Applying technology will be the key for the livestock industry to overcome the crisis," Mr. Nguyen Van A emphasized.

Overall, today’s live hog prices reflect the mounting difficulties of the livestock industry. However, with effective technological and management solutions, the market is expected to gradually stabilize in the coming time. Localities such as the Mekong Delta and Dong Nai need to continue to coordinate to control the epidemic and optimize supply.

The market outlook still depends on the ability to balance production costs and consumption demand. The livestock industry needs comprehensive support from policy to technology to overcome this difficult period.
