* Some experts say that currently, not only pork prices, chicken and duck prices have also decreased at this time because consumption demand has decreased during the vegetarian season of many people.

Besides, other foods such as seafood are also cheap, so consumers have many choices in the current difficult economic context and declining income.

Commenting on the reason for the drop in live pig prices, the Southeast Livestock Association said that the business situation of enterprises has not improved, many places have reduced workers, so the purchasing power of industrial kitchens has decreased.

However, according to the Association, pork prices will rise in the fourth quarter of this year, when students return to school. In addition, the increased demand for products for the Tet holiday will help prices of this commodity rise.
