The price of live pig is VND 55,000 per kg (USD2.75)
From April to now, the price of live pig in the South of Vietnam has increased VND 5,000 per kg to reach VND 55,000 per kg due to scarce supply.
Meanwhile, the price of live pig in the North of Vietnam is lower at VND 10,000 per kg compared with the South; it’s about VND 44,000-45,000 per kg. Therefore, the live pig is transported from the North to the South for providing pork consumption demand.
