After selling massively, HCMC is forecast to lack supplies. Poultry price will rise sharply because over time, poultry price has been low, making some raisers reduce production.

Appropriate authorities now are tightening procedures relating to document as well as quality of product, which will cause imported meat price to rise (imported meat quality is ensured more, store time lasts longer). Thus, in the upcoming time, it is difficult to have cheap imported meat to force domestic products. Imported meat supplies in final months are forecast to reduce sharply, so that domestic food price will change sharply if domestic supplies are not prepared well.

Main movements and trends:

- Pork volume at Binh Dien market reduces 3 tons/day
- Live hog price in Hanoi is up 4%
