*Although the price of live pigs has been adjusted down, the price of pork in the market is still quite high. The price difference makes consumers hesitant.

Explaining the reason, traders said that it was due to high prices at slaughterhouses and wholesale markets, combined with supply being affected by the epidemic. If the price of live pigs drops by about VND10,000/kg, the market price will remain the same.
