Breeding Breeding Highest growth in recent 10 years

This year, livestock has been seen as one of the key areas for the overall agricultural sector to recover from negative growth in the first half of the year. Regarding this issue, Mr. Van said that not only livestock farming but the negative results of the negative growth of the agricultural sector also contributed to other sectors. However, it must be said that the added value that the livestock sector contributes to the agricultural sector is considerable.

"The annual statistics show that the added value that the livestock sector contributes to agriculture is about 23-24%, but this year it may be higher. Value added livestock sector is mainly concentrated in two main areas are pigs and poultry, "Van said.

Regarding the breed issue - the most worrying issue of livestock industry, Mr. Van said: "Talking about pig breed, we can fully guarantee the 100% of the world's best breeds. This year, we import about 7,400 breeding pigs of the most advanced countries in the world such as USA, Canada, Denmark, France. This figure increased by 28.7% over the same period last year.

Mentioning more about the supply of livestock products at the end of the year, especially on the Lunar New Year, Mr. Van said that at present, livestock products are relatively abundant, some Million tons and over 1 billion eggs. Even livestock products are sufficient for export if conditions permit. This year, the quality of livestock products is relatively good.

Currently, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development is sending delegations to inspect the production and processing establishments to promote supervision and ensure food safety.
