Vietnam has seen a surge in the importation of pork due to a supply shortage, with the first 8 months of 2020 witnessing a 272.6% increase in volume and 352.6% increase in value compared to the same period in 2019. This has resulted in the price of frozen pork falling to 50,000-100,000 VND per kilogram. The price drop is due to the high volume of imports and weak purchasing power. The country has also allowed meat and meat products from 24 countries to be exported. In addition, thousands of heads of raw Thai pork have been imported, leading to a decrease in the domestic live hog price.
