Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Son - Permanent Vice President of the Vietnam Animal Husbandry Association - said that usually on holidays and Tet, the price of live pigs will increase by 10-15% compared to normal pork prices. The price of live pigs can increase to more than 70,000 VND/kg near Tet. The sharp increase in live pig prices combined with reduced production costs helps farmers make big profits at the end of the year with a profit of 1.5-1.9 million VND/pig sold.

According to the Dong Nai Livestock Association, many farmers nationwide are hesitant to restock due to concerns about disease. This has resulted in a daily supply of live pigs not being as abundant as the same period last year, pushing up prices sharply. The reduced supply could push the price of live pigs to a new peak in the coming weeks, reaching VND71,000/kg.
