The article reports a decrease in the price of live hogs in southern Vietnam, with prices falling by 1,000-2,000 VND/kg, reaching 95,000 VND/kg in Dong Nai and 93,000 VND/kg in Ho Chi Minh City. The decline is attributed to an increase in live pig imports and a surplus of thin pigs, leading to difficulties in selling. Prices in western provinces range from 90,000-96,000 VND/kg, while in the central-central highlands and north, prices have also decreased by 4,000-5,000 VND/kg. Despite these decreases, pork prices in retail markets remain high, with demand decreasing due to high prices. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development is considering importing live pigs from neighboring countries, with expectations for the first batch to arrive in June, in an effort to balance the pork market.
