Vietnam's poultry population grew about 5.6% annually over the decade to 2020 and is projected to exceed 500 million by 2025. Highly pathogenic avian influenza remains endemic, and African swine fever has shifted consumers toward chicken.
Illegal cross-border poultry trade with China adds disease risk.
Growing Vietnamese poultry numbers support rising demand for imported feed ingredients such as corn and soybean meal. Continued disease risk could disrupt flock output.
After 56 past bullish disease events, Corn moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (48% higher; middle half -1.5% to +1.6%), and +0.8% over 20.
After 67 past bullish disease events, Soybean Meal moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (46% higher; middle half -1.7% to +1.9%), and +0.4% over 20.
