Native black pigs increase in price sharply

A week ago, Ms. Tran Thi Ha in Do Luong district contacted a number of pig farmers in Con Cuong to order local black pigs (also known as wild pigs) for her family to "touch" during Tet.

Ms. Ha shared: "I am looking to buy now to make sure I have food and avoid the situation of shortages and high prices during Tet. Especially this year, the price of live pigs is usually nearly 100,000 VND/kg, so the price of local pigs has increased by 1.5 times. Like last year I bought black pigs for 80,000 VND/kg, this year it has increased to 150,000 VND/kg."

Many people in the city also ask to buy black pigs from the mountains to celebrate Tet, but in general, the supply is limited and the price is high.

Nowadays, many traders also collect goods from remote villages to sell in the market. Therefore, the price of local black pigs has increased even higher.

Native black pig is a mountain specialty popular during Tet. With the advantage of clean, delicious, firm pork, it is very popular with many customers.

This year, the price of black pigs has increased by one and a half times compared to normal days, but the supply is still scarce due to the recent impact of African swine fever. This breed of pig has also been killed by swine fever, killing thousands of pigs in highland areas such as Ky Son, Tuong Duong, and Que Phong.

Chicken eggs, black plums, green tea and many other Nghe An specialties participate in the province-wide classification competition.

(Baonghean.vn) - Participating in this contest are 51 products in 6 groups including: Food; beverages; herbs; textiles; souvenirs, decorative interiors; tourism services of enterprises, cooperatives, and production facilities in 11 urban districts in the province.
