The pork meat price purchased by the traders from the key animal husbandry areas in the South currently averages from VND 48,000 to VND 53,000 / kg, an increase of VND 3,000 / kg compared to the end of January 2019. Compared to the same period in 2018, pork meat price is 25-30% higher, while pork product price is 7-15% higher. Compared to the end of 2018, the pork price now increases by 6-12%.

It is known the increase in price is due to the market demand increases while animal raising companies have still closed. On the other hand, due to increased demand for processing and consumption, production costs (breed, materials) increase significantly compared to the same period in 2018. Supply of pork products in 2019 is from processing enterprises or farms which accounts for a higher proportion than in 2018. In some provinces, the supply proportion from enterprises even accounts for 80-90%.
