The price of live pigs in the South is currently fluctuating from 54,000 - 57,000 VND/kg, reflecting a continuing upward trend.

According to some traders, the purchasing demand of slaughterhouses is increasing to stock up on goods for the end of the year, making the Northern market more vibrant than other regions.

Since the beginning of December, the price of live pigs in the North has continuously increased every day, maintained at a high level and shows no signs of cooling down.

In areas recently affected by floods, many livestock and barn owners suffered heavy losses, leading to a localized reduction in supply. This caused pork prices in the South Central and Central Highlands to fluctuate sharply.

Some processing enterprises predict that the demand for pork at the end of the year will continue to increase, especially in the month before Tet, so prices in this area may continue to rise.

In the context of rising prices, localities are strengthening disease control work. According to Agriculture & Environment Newspaper, Nghe An is one of the localities with high risk due to large herds and small-scale farming accounting for a large proportion.

Mr. Tran Vo Ba - Deputy Head of Nghe An Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Department - said that the province currently has nearly 1 million pigs and more than 38 million poultry. Although the livestock industry has achieved many important targets in 2024 and 2025, the disease situation remains complicated.

In 2025, many dangerous epidemics such as foot-and-mouth disease, avian influenza and lumpy skin disease will continue to appear in communes and wards. In particular, African swine fever has not been completely controlled, affecting herd restoration plans in some areas.

In response, the province has issued a series of urgent dispatches, mobilized veterinary forces to strengthen surveillance, handle outbreaks, organized inspection teams and required people to fully vaccinate, while promoting biosafety. However, unstable weather and increased demand for livestock transportation at the end of the year make the risk of a re-outbreak still worrying.

Authorities recommend that farmers and local authorities closely monitor and limit the transportation of pigs of unknown origin, and regularly disinfect barns to ensure a stable food supply for the year-end market and the 2026 Lunar New Year.
