The situation of transporting and trading live pigs across the border is complicated at the end of the year.
According to the report of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the situation of smuggling and illegal transportation of buffalo, cows, pigs, poultry, and lobsters across the border into Vietnam is complicated, especially in the southern provinces bordering Cambodia and Laos.
