# Feed prices rise, live hog prices fall

> Vietnamese livestock farmers report that feed prices have been adjusted upward several times since early 2026, with increases of 18-20% in some products since the start of the year. Live hog and chicken prices at farm gate have fallen sharply, and many farms are pausing restocking. Feed accounts for 60-70% of production costs, and Vietnam imports 65-75% of its raw feed materials such as corn, wheat and soymeal.

## Why it matters

Higher imported feed-ingredient costs squeeze Vietnamese livestock margins while output prices fall, which may reduce herd rebuilding and future feed demand. Imported corn and soymeal demand is a mild support for those ingredients.
