* According to data from the General Statistics Office of Vietnam, the total number of pigs in our country as of the end of May increased by about 2.6% compared to the same period last year.
However, many large businesses said the actual figure is estimated to be much lower due to the epidemic and low prices forcing many farmers to "hang up their barns".
Mr. Pham Quang Anh, Director of the Vietnam Commodity Information Center, commented: “Compared to livestock enterprises, small-scale farmers will have more difficulty in restocking due to limited capital. Although the price of live pigs has improved in the second quarter, the demand for livestock will take a long time to recover.”
Besides the shortage of supply, expectations of improved meat prices in the world market also support our country's live pig prices.
In China, a spike in African swine fever cases earlier this year prompted the country to ramp up slaughter in the first quarter of 2023.
In a recent report, Rabobank predicted that China’s pork production will decline sharply in the second quarter, pushing pork prices back up. China’s pork consumption is also expected to increase slightly compared to the previous year as consumer demand recovers after the Covid-19 pandemic.
