Live pig prices in Vietnam have increased across the country, reaching from 68,000 to 73,000 VND / kg, due to rising demand from food processing companies for the Lunar New Year. The fluctuations in prices are attributed to floods and epidemics earlier in the year. Since November, pig prices have seen a steady increase of about 3,000 VND / kg, with the final prices depending on farmer re-herding and market demand.
