Factors affecting pig prices in the coming time

- Pork supply: After a period of stability, the domestic pig herd has begun to adjust as large farms and households increase sales to take advantage of high prices. If supply increases sharply, pig prices may stagnate in the near future.

- Consumption demand: Purchasing power in the domestic market remains stable. However, if demand does not increase further in the coming time, the increase in live pig prices may slow down.

- Export to China: China is still an important market for Vietnamese pigs. If traders increase purchases for informal export, pig prices can continue to be supported.

- Livestock costs: Feed prices remain high, increasing production costs. If input material prices do not decrease, livestock costs will continue to affect domestic pig prices.

According to Lao Cai Radio and Television, the price of live pigs before and during Tet fluctuated from 65,000 to 68,000 VND/kg. However, due to the impact of the epidemic, the supply of live pigs became scarce, pushing the price up to 70,000 to 71,000 VND/kg, helping farmers earn good profits.

However, according to recommendations from professional agencies, breeders need to consider carefully, should not re-herd massively, and at the same time ensure disease safety.

Mr. Pham Ba Uyen, Head of the Department of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine of Lao Cai province, said: “Breeding is the most important factor, followed by taking advantage of local feed to reduce costs and applying science and technology to animal husbandry. In addition, disease prevention, especially African swine fever, must be strictly implemented.”

Lao Cai province's professional sector also recommends that in addition to being cautious when restocking, businesses and farmers should sell pigs when they reach the appropriate weight, helping to minimize risks and contribute to market stability.
