* The leader of Dong Nai Livestock Association said that because the cost of raising pigs in Cambodia is lower than in Vietnam, smuggling may occur.

The price of Vietnamese live pigs is currently at 55,000 - 56,000 VND/kg, while the price of Cambodian live pigs sold to smugglers into our country is only 42,000 - 45,000 VND/kg.

“The cost of raising pigs is currently too high. The price of meat powder, the main ingredient in animal feed in Vietnam, is up to 6,000 VND/kg, while the price of this type of meat powder in Cambodia is only about 3,000 VND/kg, half the price.

In addition, the supply of pork from Cambodia has increased sharply in recent years while demand is not high, so they are looking for ways to sell to Vietnam for consumption," said Mr. Nguyen Tri Cong, Chairman of Dong Nai Livestock Association.

This situation increases the risk of infection and spread of dangerous diseases such as African swine fever, foot-and-mouth disease, avian influenza... as well as the risk of animals being fed banned substances to stimulate growth, seriously affecting the livestock industry and people's health.
