In the context of a sharp decrease in the herd due to ASF and small-scale farmers abandoning their farms due to losses, Mr. Nguyen Nhu So, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Dabaco Group Joint Stock Company, commented that the price of live pigs could return to its peak in 2020, reaching a record of 100,000 VND/kg.
