Causes and predictions
The price of live pigs in the coming days is expected to be unlikely to decrease because supply has not recovered. The Dong Nai Livestock Association recommends that people should not herd into large numbers at this time, because high farming prices and high investment costs can push production costs to risk.
The risk of epidemics, especially African swine fever, is still tiem nang, creating more pressure for farmers. In this situation, experts recommend that livestock farmers be cautious in re-herding and expanding the scale of livestock farming.
