VTV.vn - According to the Department of Livestock Production's forecast, the number of livestock farmers is expected to decrease by 800,000 to 850,000 at the end of the year.

As for pig production, due to unsteady prices, livestock producers are not interested in re-stocking, and that only households with large scale farms have remained working with short-time plans. The price of pork has fallen to a record low in several years from the end of 2016 to mid 2017, resulting in difficulties for pig farmers who've fallen into debt or bankruptcy due to long-term losses.
