After a series of consecutive increases, the Northern region has begun to show signs of a slight decrease.

Some localities such as Bac Giang, Ha Nam, Hung Yen, Hanoi, Thai Nguyen, Tuyen Quang and Phu Tho recorded a price reduction of VND 1,000/kg, bringing the common transaction price to around VND 67,000 - 68,000/kg.

With this new development, the North is holding the position of the region with the lowest pork price in the country, forcing farmers to carefully consider the time to sell.

Pig price in Central Highlands

The Central and Central Highlands regions today showed positive recovery in many provinces and cities.

 

Localities such as Binh Dinh, Quang Nam, Quang Ngai, Quang Tri, Thua Thien Hue, Khanh Hoa, Dak Lak, and Binh Phuoc witnessed an increase of VND1,000 - 2,000/kg, with prices ranging from VND69,000 - 73,000/kg.

This price is considered the peak of the week, clearly reflecting positive signals from consumer demand at slaughterhouses and restaurants as the holiday season approaches.

Southern pig price

The South stood out on April 11 with a series of localities recording significant increases, some places increasing by up to 2,000 VND/kg in just 24 hours.

Provinces including Dong Nai, Binh Duong, Tay Ninh, Vinh Long, Tien Giang, Ben Tre have increased by 2,000 VND/kg.
An increase of VND 1,000/kg was recorded in Ho Chi Minh City, Ca Mau, Long An, Dong Thap, Hau Giang, Kien Giang, An Giang, Tra Vinh.

 

Currently, the price of live pigs in this area fluctuates from 72,000 - 74,000 VND/kg, the highest in the country, showing that the demand for meat is increasing again in the context of gradually recovering purchasing power.

Experts say that if the recovery trend continues, the pig market may continue to witness new price increases before the April 30 – May 1 holiday. However, input costs and disease prevention efforts are still factors that prevent farmers from being completely assured.
