Central Highlands market

In the provinces of the Central region and the Central Highlands, the price of live pigs this morning decreased by 1,000 VND/kg in many places, with the common purchase range from 62,000 - 66,000 VND/kg.

Thanh Hoa and Nghe An recorded a decrease of 1,000 VND/kg, currently the price is at 64,000 VND/kg.

The three provinces of Ha Tinh, Quang Tri and Hue also made similar adjustments, currently the price of live pigs here is being purchased at 63,000 VND/kg.

Southern region

In the South, the price of live pigs this morning continued to decrease slightly in some localities, currently fluctuating between 65,000 - 67,000 VND/kg.

Dong Nai and An Giang both decreased by 1,000 VND/kg compared to yesterday, currently trading at 66,000 VND/kg.

Meanwhile, Ho Chi Minh City, Tay Ninh, Dong Thap, An Giang, Vinh Long, Can Tho and Ca Mau maintained the prices set from the previous session. However, if the downward trend continues, the high price zone in the South is likely to be adjusted down further.

This price adjustment is likely due to weak consumer demand, abundant supply and the lack of clear signs of recovery in the market. In addition, the slowdown in purchasing power after the summer holidays and unfavorable weather have also significantly affected pork consumption.
