The article highlights the current situation at Ha Nam Livestock and Poultry Wholesale Market, where there is an oversupply of pigs, leading to low prices. The majority of pigs are purchased for small-scale slaughter in neighboring provinces, with few sales to Hanoi slaughterhouses. Traders like Mr. Quang buy pigs at 50,000 VND/kg and sell them for 52-53,000 VND/kg, with a decrease in trading compared to previous months due to reduced demand and purchasing power. Consumers are buying less pork, and sellers are maintaining prices in anticipation of the Lunar New Year. The stable, low prices have been in place for over two months, despite high feed costs making farming unprofitable. The current market prices are largely unregulated, with farmers facing risks and challenges.
