| description | Slaughterhouse plays important role in pig value chain in Vietnam, not only for the
functions it plays and economic added value it generates, but also for product quality relates to
food safety standards that is much affected under slaughtering activity. The study is aimed to
get a better understanding of structure, conduct, performance and economic viability of small
scale slaughter houses in the pig value chain, and draw key implications for pig value chain
development in Vietnam. Nghe An and Hung Yen are selected as study site. Data is collected
from 51 small scale slaughterhouses in 18 communes. Descriptive and comparative statistics
are employed with t-test for mean comparison. Results show that slaughterhouse plays multiple
functions in the pig value chain, generate permanent jobs for at least 2 family labors, and
provides an income of about 18 USD/working day for family labor, contributing about threefourths
of total family income. Slaughtering activity generates an added value of 165 USD/one
ton of live pig, accounting from 24%-44% total value added in the pig value chain. Upstream
and downstream linkages of slaughterhouses in the chain are quite loose with no formal
contract. The majority of small scale slaughterhouses do not meet the standards for pig
slaughterhouse as required by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. The setting
up as well as slaughtering practices are perceived to contribute to exposure of meat to
contamination that could lead to higher incidence of salmonella in pork, a common cause of
foodborne illness for consumers. Rising concerns of consumers about food safety as well as
increasing level of economic integration of Vietnam are factors potentially having great
impacts on economic viability of small scale slaughterhouse in Vietnam. Several
recommendations for upgrading slaughterhouse are proposed accordingly. |
