# Vietnam Chicken prices drop to 10-year low - VnExpress International

> Chicken prices in southern Vietnam, including Dong Nai Province, fell to around VND13,000 per kilogram, about half the cost of raising birds. Farmers say the drop follows a domestic supply surge as many switched from pigs to chickens after African swine fever spread across the country.
