Pig price forecastcontinue to increase across the board
Today's live pig price fluctuates 1,000 - 2,000 VND/kg. In just the past 3 months, the live pig price in the Mekong Delta and many localities in the country has increased by a total of more than 10,000 VND/kg and is at its highest level since the beginning of the year.
The price of live pigs in the North today decreased slightly. Accordingly, 62,000 VND/kg is the transaction price recorded in the two provinces of Bac Giang and Phu Tho, down 1 price. Hung Yen and Thai Binh continue to be the two provinces with the highest purchase price in the region at 63,000 VND/kg. The purchase price is stable in the remaining provinces and cities.

Specifically, Quang Tri province adjusted the price up 2,000 VND/kg to 62,000 VND/kg. Live pigs in Thua Thien Hue, Quang Nam, Quang Ngai and Khanh Hoa provinces were traded at 59,000 VND/kg, an increase of 1,000 VND/kg. Other localities traded stably.
Some experts believe that pig prices may continue to increase due to many new positive changes in the market. With this price, many farmers can make a profit and no longer suffer heavy capital losses like in the first months of 2023.
Pig prices increased due to a decrease in supply in many localities compared to previous months due to a small number of pigs ready for sale, as well as due to people reducing pig farming, especially small-scale pig farmers.
According to traders and pork businesses, high demand for pork in many places has also created conditions for the price of live pigs to recover. At the same time, many businesses have also reduced imports of frozen pork and increased sales of domestic pork products.

Australian tangerines to Vietnam at super cheap prices
Australian tangerines used to be imported to Vietnam at 250,000 VND per kilogram. Now that the season is in full swing and Chinese goods are competing, the price has dropped by half compared to the same period last year.
A survey at traditional markets in Ho Chi Minh City and fruit stores showed that the retail price of Australian tangerines is currently fluctuating between VND90,000 and VND120,000 per kilogram, down by half compared to the same period last year. Many online stores even advertise them for VND50,000 per kilogram and VND139,000 for three kilograms - the cheapest prices ever.
A representative of Binh Thuan Fruit and Vegetable Company - a unit specializing in importing large quantities of imported fruit, said that this year, this fruit has many different sizes ranging from 80,000-120,000 VND per kg for a box (9 kg). With the types with super cheap prices, customers should be careful because most of them are poor quality goods.
According to this company, to distinguish between real and fake Australian tangerines, customers need to buy from reputable establishments with clear labels and declarations of origin. Counterfeit products often do not have additional labels and have strange brands.
Australian tangerines are mostly imported by air or sea, so they do not reach the market. Currently, most of the Australian tangerines in the market are from China. This type is imported to the market in large quantities at a wholesale price of 25,000-30,000 VND per kg. This is also the reason why the price of goods imported directly from Australia has dropped sharply.
On the market today, this product has 2 types: sweet and slightly sour. The slightly sour type is due to the tangerines being harvested before the main season. Compared to Vietnamese tangerines, Australian tangerines are juicy, have less fibrous segments, thinner skin and a more distinctive aroma.
