Live pig prices in Vietnam have surged across the country, with the highest price recorded in Thai Binh province at 66,000 VND/kg. Most northern provinces and cities are buying and selling live pigs at 65,000 VND/kg, while the Central Highlands region and the southern region also experienced an increase, reaching up to 65,000 VND/kg in several areas. The African swine fever outbreak in Lang Son province has led to a decrease in the total herd of pigs by over 9,000, or 3.3%, compared to the same period last year, with more than 16,600 pigs culled so far this year.
