Overall, the live hog market today recorded an increase of VND1,000/kg in many localities, while some places saw a sharp increase of up to VND2,000/kg. The highest level was VND52,000/kg in many northern and southern provinces; the lowest was VND46,000/kg in Quang Tri, Hue and Da Nang.

After a long period of sharp decline, pig prices in all three regions are gradually recovering. The upward trend in recent days has helped farmers expect the market to continue to improve, especially when consumption demand at the end of the year begins to increase.

Up to now, the average price of live pigs nationwide has returned to nearly 50,000 VND/kg. However, this is still a low level that does not make farmers profitable, because the amount of imported meat is still large, so the price of domestic pork cannot increase sharply. Only when the source of imported meat is consumed, will the price of domestic pork have a chance to make a clear breakthrough.

Although positive signals have continuously appeared, the current average price is still not enough for farmers to break even, let alone make a profit.

In the short term, the market expects consumption demand to continue to increase as processing enterprises and traditional markets actively stock up for the peak season. This trend could help prices maintain their upward momentum and bring optimism to livestock farmers after many months of volatility.

However, risks remain as supply from large farms could increase rapidly, putting pressure on prices. Feed and transportation costs remain high, forcing small-scale farmers to carefully consider costs and profits. In addition, cheap imported meat continues to be a factor that makes it difficult for domestic prices to break out despite increasing demand.

In this context, farmers should closely monitor market fluctuations to choose the right time to sell. If local prices have approached or exceeded 50,000 VND/kg, selling early can help reduce risks. Conversely, if housing conditions are good and costs allow, holding for a short time to wait for prices to increase slightly is also an option worth considering.

It is forecasted that the price of live pigs will continue to increase, but the possibility of a strong breakthrough is still limited. Farmers need to pay attention to monitoring the market daily and balance the cost of raising with the actual price to achieve the highest economic efficiency.

This year continues to be a volatile period for the pig farming industry, but the motivation to restore herds remains quite strong. The reason is that the average price of live pigs this year is still significantly higher than in 2024, while the price of feed ingredients is still low. However, the ASF vaccine cannot yet become a "savior" for farmers because it needs more time to test and perfect, so small farms still have to increase biosecurity to minimize risks.

According to experts' forecasts, the epidemic situation may stabilize in 2026 when the stocking density decreases in most regions after the severe damage period of 2024-2025. However, the emergence of new recombinant strains makes it more difficult to detect the disease, increases the culling rate and may force many farms to temporarily stop raising. Therefore, the price of live pigs in the coming time is still forecast to fluctuate unpredictably.
