(Baonghean.vn) - Innocent pigs eating, playing, running and sleeping on the road, on the edge of the rice fields, or under stilt houses... have become a typical, familiar image when visiting any highland village in Nghe An.

| Pig farming is one of the ways to earn a living, improve life, and is the "savings" of the people in the mountainous districts of Nghe An.Pigs are mainly raised in free-range farming. In terms of economic productivity, this method of farming is not very effective, but in return, this pork is "clean", delicious, and has become a famous specialty. |
 |
| Pigs are raised to sell for money, to be slaughtered during holidays, to be offered to ancestors, to be used as gifts for festivals, weddings...In any village, it is easy to see pigs diligently "grazing" and leisurely walking in the middle of the road. |
 |
| Pigs are present in most daily activities as well as in the spiritual life of the Mong, Thai, and Kho Mu people in Western Nghe An. |

| Local pigs are mainly black pigs, or crossbred with wild pigs. |

| The way to raise them is also simple: let them forage around the village and feed them a little corn bran and rice wine. Because of this natural way of raising them, it takes 3-4 months for a pig to be ready to sell for meat, and up to a year for the pig to reach maturity. Photo: Sach Nguyen |
