According to a report from the Department of Livestock, the livestock industry strives to increase production value by about 4-5% compared to 2023. It also sets a target for 2024 to produce over 7.89 million tons of live meat of all kinds, an increase of 3.8% compared to 2023. The target for live pork production is 4.87 million tons, an increase of 4%. The target for poultry meat is 2.31 million tons (+3.1%) and for industrial animal feed it is 20.5 million tons (+2.5%).
As of the end of November 2023, the country's total pig herd was 30.3 million, an increase of about 4%. Pig farming has seen positive results although it still faces many difficulties due to low pig prices, the cost of ensuring biosecure farming, and disease prevention. Animal feed prices, while trending slightly downward, are still high.
The livestock industry will continue to coordinate with the Department of Animal Health and related units in implementing disease prevention. The livestock industry strengthens channels to closely monitor developments in the supply and prices of animal feed ingredients domestically and abroad. It takes timely measures to minimize the impact on livestock production efficiency.
