The Department of Livestock Production in Vietnam is assessing the rapid growth of swiftlet breeding for bird's nest farming, with over 23,000 establishments as of 2022. Despite its high economic potential, the industry faces challenges such as disorganized farming, lack of technical expertise, and unstable economic efficiency. With opportunities for export to China, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development is emphasizing the need for traceability, quality control, and product supervision.
