# African swine fever spreads to 28 communes in Vietnam's Ca Mau as 2,831 pigs are culled

> African swine fever has spread to 28 communes in Vietnam's Ca Mau province, and 2,831 pigs have been culled. Provincial veterinary officials warn that the risk of wider spread remains very high as year-end restocking and pig movements increase.

## Why it matters

Losses in Vietnam's pig herd reduce domestic demand for feed ingredients such as corn, soymeal and meat and bone meal, while restocking later can lift feed demand. The effect on global prices is likely limited because Vietnam's outbreak is regional.
