    Faced with serious environmental pollution and fierce opposition from the people, the People's Committee of Dinh Lap district has repeatedly organized and chaired dialogues between the company and the people in the commune.

    Most recently, in document No. 2077/UBND-VP dated September 19, 2024, the People's Committee of Dinh Lap district requested urgent relocation of pigs from farms that do not meet breeding conditions.

    In this document, the local government also requested CJ Vietnam Group and CJ Agri Co., Ltd. - Ha Nam Branch (two units associated with Rutech Company) to quickly relocate the pig herd and stop raising pigs until the construction items are completed and all licenses are granted according to regulations before continuing to raise pigs.

    The People's Committee of Dinh Lap district clearly stated that if after October 5, 2024, these three enterprises do not relocate all their pigs, they will be fully responsible before the law for the consequences that occur in the locality.

    However, immediately after that, due to the large number of pigs, the company asked for more time to relocate until October 15.
