* According to experts, the price of live pigs has increased again partly because the supply of cheap imported meat has decreased significantly recently. This is because recent petitions by livestock associations to control the source of imported low-quality meat have been effective.

While pig farmers are excited, poultry farmers continue to suffer losses.

Survey shows that in Dong Nai market, the price of white feather chicken is still at 28,000 VND/kg while the production cost is up to 31,000 - 33,000 VND/kg, so farmers are still losing money.

The reason why pork prices are increasing but chicken prices are still stagnant is said to be because the life cycle of chickens is short and the turnover time is fast. Facilities such as barns cannot be left empty for too long, forcing many people to continue to restock while demand has not increased.

According to experts, in the current context, with reduced animal feed prices, gradual economic recovery, and good control of cheap imported low-quality meat sources, the livestock industry can recover in the second half of the year.
