Pork prices at traditional markets in Can Tho range from 105,000 to 215,000 VND/kg, and at supermarkets from 105,000 to 263,000 VND/kg.

Due to the impact of storms and epidemics, supply has decreased and pork prices have increased. The People's Committee of Can Tho City has directed to strengthen price management and ensure the supply of essential goods.

Relevant agencies are required to update price information and prevent speculation and product shortages.
