| description | Livestock sector in general and pig production in particular are important in Vietnam not only
for supplying food for its growing population but also for their significant contributions to the
country’s economy. Smallholder pig producers which are common, are estimated to supply at
least 80% of pork in total pork production in the country. The paper airms to draw a picture of
pig production performance of small farmers based on the survey data of ILRI-VNUA and value
chain approach. It is believed that pig smallholders in Vietnam perform a weak market
orientation, and they do not have full information about market. Therefore, some implications
should be as small pig farmers need facilitation from the government and training & improving
veterinary network are needed; Government management on input and output markets should be
strengthened effectively; The private sector should participate actively in the chains; and
Awareness of food safety of people should be improved. |
