As the number of pig breeding households continues to drop, a shortage of live pigs could result in high pork prices later this year, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD).
The HCM City People’s Committee has asked the city’s Department of Agriculture and Rural Development to publicise the names of 13 slaughterhouses located within the Xuyên Á slaughterhouse complex in the city’s Củ Chi District for illegally injecting pigs with sedatives.
