| For the people of Western Nghe An, Independence Day is no less meaningful than Lunar New Year, so the demand for shopping and preparing for this event is very exciting. Grasping this demand, many traders and Lao people also bring goods to sell at the border market. |
 |
| Pigs at the market are mostly black pigs raised on farms or free-range pigs on mountain tops, so these pigs have thick, bushy hair. |
 |
| Free-range pigs are very strong and fierce, so it takes many people to catch them. |
 |
| Pigs are also brought to the fair. |
 |
| According to the experience of black pig "hunters", to know if a pig is good or not, you have to pluck a few hairs from the pig to see. |
 |
| The price of live pigs sold at Nam Can market is not consistent. If it is a small pig, the price is from 80,000 - 110,000 VND/kg, if it is a larger pig, the price ranges from 60,000 - 70,000 VND/kg. |
