Exploring pathways to invest in Ban pig breeding improvements in Son La Province, Northwest Highlands of Vietnam
Ban pigs have traditionally been raised by ethnic groups in upland areas. However, these communities are increasingly facing challenges, including declines in genetically pure Ban pig populations, the prevalence of unknown mixed breeds, breeding degradation, inbreeding, low productivity, and the hig...

| description | Ban pigs have traditionally been raised by ethnic groups in upland areas. However, these communities are increasingly facing challenges, including declines in genetically pure Ban pig populations, the prevalence of unknown mixed breeds, breeding degradation, inbreeding, low productivity, and the high prices of Ban pigs compared to exotic breeds.
Currently, the SAPLING initiative supports cooperative artificial insemination (AI) service providers in record-keeping and benefits calculations. However, this support has not yet extended to breeders, including farmer groups engaged in Ban pig production. Maintaining genetically pure Ban pig breeders in the community is critical to ensuring their linkage with other commercial Ban pig producers in the region. At the same time, it is essential to enhance the knowledge of farmers and other stakeholders in maintaining the genetic quality of Ban pigs for long-term conservation and development.
This effort is part of Innovation Package 3 (IP3) under the "Enhancing ASEAN Agrobiodiversity Use and Landscape Biodiversity" initiative, which is a component of the ASEAN-CGIAR Innovate for Food Regional Program. The overall objective of this program is to build resilience to climate change while improving livelihoods for food producers and other stakeholders along the value chain. |
