HCM City to switch from pork production to pig breeding

HCM CITY — HCM City plans to move its pig farming industry away from breeding for pork and increase the number of pigs raised for breeding purposes in the next five years.

It will develop nuclear farms for producing high-quality piglets for supply to farmers in the city and elsewhere.

It will seek to expand household pig farms into large–scale farms that breed operate on an industrial scale, use high–tech breeding techniques to ensure safety and achieve Vietnamese good agricultural practices (VietGAP) standards.

It has  二, 二 八0 pig farming establishments with more than  二00,000 head.

It plans to sustain this size until  二0 二 五.   

Most of the farms are in the five outlying districts of Củ Chi, Hóc Môn, Bình Chánh, Cần Giờ, and Nhà Bè.

The number of farms that do not comply with safety standards, especially those that feed their animals food residues, will be reduced this year.

The city targets  六0 –  七0 per cent of households farming pigs to VietGAP standards this year and  九0 –  九 五 per cent by  二0 二 五 and  九0 –  一00 per cent of them meeting environmental protection regulations this year and  一00 per cent by  二0 二 五.    

A digital map for managing pigs and pig diseases will be ready by this year.

The city wants more than  一0 per cent of farming households to be members of co-operative groups or co-operatives this year and  二0 per cent in  二0 二 五.

To meet the five-year targets it will encourage farming households to invest in farms with closed processes, adopt advanced breeding techniques and raise pigs either for meat or producing piglets and not both.

It will implement bio-safety measures for disease prevention to develop farms that are safe from outbreaks and ensure the use of pig feed with clear origins. 

The pig farming districts in co-operation with relevant departments and agencies will support the development of pig co-operative groups and co-operatives and linkages among stakeholders to increase the incomes of farming households.

The Department of Industry and Trade will establish a pork trading floor.

An average of  一0,000 pigs are traded daily in the city.

There are  二 四 pig slaughterhouses.

Nguyễn Ngọc Hòa, chairman of the HCM City Finance and Investment State Owned Company and a member of the steering co妹妹ittee for setting up the trading floor, said it would help pig farmers directly access consumers and provide clear information to all stakeholders.

The floor would also meet the demand for modernising pig farming and hygienic and safe meat, stabilise pork prices and develop exports via official channels, he added. – VNS
