Pig price developments in the North

In the North, the live hog market today did not record any changes in price. Localities such as Hanoi, Bac Giang and Hai Duong are still purchasing at prices ranging from 67,000 to 68,000 VND/kg. Meanwhile, the provinces of Hung Yen, Nam Dinh, Ha Nam and Ninh Binh continue to keep prices at 66,000 - 67,000 VND/kg as in previous days.

Pig price situation in the Central Highlands region

In the Central and Central Highlands regions, live hog prices remained stable amid little market volatility. In localities from Quang Binh to Khanh Hoa, as well as Lam Dong, Dak Lak and Gia Lai, the purchase price remained within the range of 69,000 - 74,000 VND/kg. Market transactions have not yet become active again due to the relatively balanced supply-demand balance, and traders are still cautious when purchasing.

Developments in the Southern market

On May 5, 2025, the price of live pigs was stable nationwide. The North - Central - South regions all maintained the same price as the previous session, while the pork consumption market showed no signs of recovery after the long holiday.

In the Southern region, the price of live pigs today did not record any fluctuations. Dong Thap and An Giang continued to maintain the purchase price at 73,000 VND/kg, while Ca Mau maintained the price at 74,000 VND/kg - marking the end of the recent series of slight adjustments.

Some provinces such as Ho Chi Minh City, Vinh Long, Can Tho, Kien Giang, Tra Vinh, Bac Lieu and Hau Giang continue to keep prices in the range of 74,000 - 75,000 VND/kg, in which Ho Chi Minh City and Soc Trang are still recording the highest prices in the Western region.

The market remains stable as consumer demand has not yet increased, while supply from livestock farms remains adequate.

According to livestock businesses and traders, weak purchasing power at wholesale markets and supermarket systems has not improved. It is likely that in the next few days, when slaughtering and transportation activities become active again, the live pig market will have new signals, leading to price adjustments.

Dong Nai – the country’s leading locality in terms of total pig herd – currently has more than 2.4 million pigs, accounting for a large proportion of the country’s live pig supply. Faced with market pressure and the risk of disease, the province’s agricultural sector has proactively implemented a series of measures to stabilize production and ensure product quality.

According to the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Dong Nai, local livestock farms are actively implementing a closed production model. This is considered an effective solution to help increase biosafety, reduce costs and improve livestock productivity. Large enterprises such as CP Vietnam, GreenFeed, and Masan have invested heavily in modern technology, from barns to standard breeding and feed sources.

At the same time, disease control efforts continue to be stepped up. Local authorities are stepping up vaccination measures, monitoring hotspots, and launching large-scale disinfection campaigns. As a result, the risk of African swine fever resurgence has been significantly reduced.

In addition, Dong Nai province also promotes the construction of a chain linking livestock farmers and processing and exporting enterprises. This model contributes to ensuring stable output, reducing pressure on domestic consumption and increasing commercial value.

With a sustainable development orientation and close support from the authorities, Dong Nai not only maintains its leading position in the pig farming industry but also moves towards the goal of better meeting the needs of the domestic and export markets.
