* According to the Dong Nai Province Livestock Association, the situation of smuggled pigs not only causes damage to domestic farmers but also affects the health of consumers because this is a source of pigs that are not controlled for diseases, especially in the days near Tet, food safety is still a hot topic. However, there are many difficulties in handling violations.
The economic police said they were not authorized to operate at the border, so they had to wait until they reached the interior. However, once they reached the interior, they had to prove that the pigs were from the border. To prove this, the market management said they needed traffic police because they could not stop the vehicles.
However, authorities said they will take drastic action to deal with violations with sanctions that are strong enough to deter.
Preventing smuggling is a legitimate proposal but is still only a superficial problem for the livestock industry. The total export turnover of the livestock industry in 2023 is about 430 million USD, much lower than other billion-dollar agricultural products.
The most effective way to prevent pigs from crossing the border from abroad is to increase production value on a larger scale, create better competitiveness, and regain consumer trust.
