Abstract
In the gross output of agriculture sector, livestock contributes about 19% and is important income for farmers, especially small-farmers in Vietnam. Small-scale farms accounted for 85% in livestock scale of Vietnam. The swine sector is the most important livestock sector in Vietnam because of its contribution to the people’s nutritional requirements annually, about 70-76% of total meat production. This paper reviews the Vietnamese swine trading sector. Starting with an overview of Vietnam’s natural conditions of swine industry, including a description of prevalent swine production systems, the value chain of swine trading, the paper then takes a systematic view of opportunities, challenges and prospects of swine product marketing. Besides, the government implemented strategies for strengthening swine industry, keeping pork price stable and balancing swine herd. The opportunities offered by swine farming to improve livelihoods, enhance their standard living and alleviate poverty. However, swine producers mostly face with the challenges of knowledge gap in best practice in husbandry and management of farms as businesses. Other challenges are low quality-high cost feeds, inability to service quantity and quality demands of the market. Among the emerging problems are majority of swine farmers are limited in market power, and in 2019, African Swine Fever (ASF) emerged in Vietnam and rapidly spread to whole country which led to the decrease of swine herd. This paper also assessed likely changes in the next 5 years based on past trends and future scenarios, and evaluated growth potential, viability, and the sustainability of smallholder swine systems in Vietnam.
