Vmart ... requires a reserve plan as well as additional supplies of pork.

Industry and Trade also works with localities, directing market management to create conditions for traders to increase supply of pork of clear origin to serve the needs of consumers.

Specifically, up to this point, Co.opmart Tuy Hoa has prepared a supply of pork during the year-end peak period. Accordingly, in addition to the pork supply of local farms, the unit also prepares additional meat from pig farms in the south.

It is expected that by the time of Tet, every day the supermarket will supply about 2 tons of pork to the market. Besides, the unit also prepares other sources of fresh food, such as poultry, beef, fish, seafood ... so that consumers have more choices for Tet meals.

Meanwhile, Ms. Pham Thi Hang Vy, Vmart Superintendent's director, said that the rising price of pork makes supply difficult. Every day, the unit brings to the market half a ton of pork, at a stable price compared to traditional markets.

However, during the peak period of Tet holiday, it is expected that consumption will increase about 5-6 times, pork price will also increase by 30-40%.

Therefore, in addition to self-sufficient pigs from its farm, the unit also worked with farms in the same Green Feed pig system in Dak Lak, Binh Dinh and the South to supplement meat sources. pigs in case of spot scarcity.

Vinh Long: Recommend farmers to consider carefully when investing in the herd

Currently, many farmers are psychologically though "ham" pig prices are up, but worry about epidemic attack should be afraid to raise, not dare to re-herd. This makes the price of pigs at the end of the year more powerful, Vinh Long newspaper reported

Mr. Le Thanh Tung, Director of Department of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine (Department of Agriculture and Rural Development), said that currently, because of fear of lack of supply for Tet, farmers' psychology is confused, unstable, half. want to stop raising due to fear of recurrence of disease.

"Farmers should be calm, not in a hurry, need to consider carefully before investing in animal husbandry again. Only when farmers confidently raise in the direction of biosecurity, have a solution to prevent pathogens," Think again, "Mr. Le Thanh Tung recommends.

Dong Nai: Encouraging enterprises and animal husbandry establishments to meet the conditions of re-herd bio-security

In Dong Nai, manufacturing enterprises are now processing pork products to prepare for the Lunar New Year market in 2020.

According to Dong Nai newspaper, the demand for pork increases sharply while the supply is increasingly scarce due to the impact of African swine cholera causing the price of live hogs to set a new "peak" at 90,000 VND / kg.

Mr. Le Van Loc, Deputy Director of the Department of Industry and Trade, said that a number of large enterprises in the livestock industry are planning to open more retail shops to the localities and are committed to stabilizing the price of pork and products from pork from December 20 to the Chinese New Year in 2020.

The Department also strengthened the inspection and control of the market on speculation, raising prices or exporting unofficial pigs to China.

Although the price of live hogs has continuously set a new "peak", farmers are still quite cautious in re-herding because of great risks due to African swine cholera.

According to localities, there are very few breeding households who re-herd because in fact some households re-herd after the epidemic and relapsed. In these cases, they will not receive support from the state budget due to poor implementation of animal husbandry biosecurity as prescribed.

In particular, Bien Hoa City and Nhon Trach District do not have plans to develop cattle and poultry breeding, so most of pig households are now switching to other jobs.

Dong Nai Breeding Association Chairman Nguyen Tri Cong said that although the current spread of African swine fever has decreased, in fact, some provinces and cities have not succeeded because of recurrence.

In Dong Nai, the statistical association has more than 20 households successfully re-herd, the average size of these farms is about 300 birds / farm.

Also according to Mr. Cong, the plan to import pork to supply to the Lunar New Year market in 2020 is not too feasible because the preparation of import procedures and documents takes a whole month. The province should consider measures to increase the use of poultry meat and other meat sources.

Specifically, the increase in the price of pork makes chicken consumption now increase by about 20% compared to before. Businesses also need to pay attention to the diversity of processed products from chicken to better meet the market.
