* Some experts say that this year, pig farming is even more difficult than the 2017 surplus crisis. At that time, despite calls for "pig rescue", purchasing power was good and pig farming was not affected by disease. But now, the cost of raising pigs has increased sharply due to the cost of breeding, feed and especially the risk of disease.

Besides, although the price of live pigs in Vietnam is below the cost price, it is still high compared to neighboring countries such as Laos, Cambodia, and China. Therefore, Vietnamese pigs have no chance to be exported. Especially, the source of goods from Cambodia, the current price of live pigs is only 36,000 VND/kg, so traders find ways to smuggle.

Mr. Nguyen Tri Cong, Chairman of Dong Nai Livestock Association, said that there is reason to say that this year's livestock farming is more difficult than the period when calling for "rescue" in previous years.

He emphasized: "Although the price of live pigs has increased, at a price of 50,000 - 52,000 VND/kg, only a few businesses break even, the majority are still losing money. Throughout the past year, livestock farms have had to endure and hope to survive when prices increase in the future."
