“There’s no worry about the lack of meat during and after the Lunar New Year festival (Tet),” said Nguyen Thanh Son, Deputy Head of the Animal Husbandry Department under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD).
He confirmed that some 270,000 tonnes of meat have been supplied to the domestic market in January, up 10 percent compared to other months.
To ensure adequate supply, the Animal Husbandry Department has allowed businesses to import about 115,000 tonnes of meat from neighbouring countries.
At present, the price of pork is VND48,000-52,000 per kilogram while white-feather chicken hovers around VND32,000-33,000 per kilogram.
