In market of the East of the South, chicken price this week went down considerably; the price of chicken in Phu An Sinh dropped by 6,000 VND per kg and in Huynh Gia Huynh De by 2,000 VND per kg.

Because of its low price, imported meat is becoming a good option for consumers. However, since supermarkets produced its own product labels and lowered prices by 3%-20%, this is in reality threatening the livestock sector of the country.
