Tridge summary

Vietnam's imports of chicken meat have fluctuated over the years, reaching a peak of nearly 300,000 tons in 2019-2020 before decreasing to 246,000 tons in 2022. These imports account for about 21% of the country's total domestic consumption, with over 674 tons of imported chicken being consumed daily.

The Vietnam Poultry Breeding Association suggests the government take action by banning the import of meat products from countries that use growth stimulants, enforcing non-tariff measures to protect domestic production, and constructing reasonable technical barriers in line with international practices.
