VOV.VN - Vietnam’s livestock industry is asserting its place on the global map, yet still faces major challenges related to production costs, technology adoption, and disease outbreaks, said Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Environment Phung Duc Tien.

The domestic meat market is facing mounting pressure as imports surge, with cheaper products increasingly dominating supermarket shelves.

The livestock industry needs to ensure pork supply increases by 10-15% for the Tet Holiday to avoid price fluctuations.

Vietnam’s livestock industry set a production growth target of 4-5% in 2024 and is expected to make up 28-30% of the country’s agricultural production.

More than 350 enterprises from more than 30 countries and territories joined Vietnam’s Premier International Feed, Livestock, Aquaculture & Meat Industry Show (Vietstock) Expo & Forum 2023 that opened at Saigon Exhibition and Convention Centre (SECC) in Ho Chi Minh City on October 11.
