* According to the Department of Animal Husbandry (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development), in October 2023, the price of live pigs decreased nationwide, while the cost of disease prevention increased and the price of animal feed did not decrease significantly, so livestock farms encountered difficulties.

If the epidemic increases and pig prices continue to fall, small-scale farmers will limit investment in herd restoration and even stop raising pigs.

The farm and business sector can maintain stable livestock farming scale due to the advantages of closed production processes, lower livestock costs, and good disease prevention mechanisms. It is estimated that the total pig herd of the country by the end of October 2023 will increase by about 3.4% compared to the same period in 2022.

In October, 55 African swine fever outbreaks occurred in 21 provinces and cities nationwide. The total number of pigs destroyed was 813.

Since the beginning of the year, 457 outbreaks have occurred in 42 provinces and cities nationwide; the total number of pigs culled is 17,221. Compared to the same period in 2022, the number of outbreaks decreased by 61.13%, the number of pigs culled at outbreaks decreased by 68.88%. Currently, the country has 115 outbreaks in 62 districts of 24 provinces that have not passed 21 days.
