Responding to the press, Mr. Duong Tat Thang, Director of the Department of Animal Husbandry (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development) said that according to tradition, to meet the demand for pork at the end of the year and during the Lunar New Year, it is not until September and October every year that businesses and farmers will re-herd to ensure the time for selling. Therefore, the story of a meat shortage at the end of the year will be unlikely to happen.

According to Mr. Thang, by the end of August, the livestock situation of businesses and farms was still quite stable.

"With the current pig herd, we can basically meet the domestic market's demand for pork and pork products from now until the end of the year, including the Lunar New Year. In addition, it is forecasted that from the beginning of September, farmers will continue to restore their herds," said Mr. Thang.
