# Live Hog Prices Fall Sharply, Cutting Profits at Major Livestock Producers in Q3

> Vietnamese live hog prices declined through the third quarter of 2026, falling to around 57,000–60,000 dong per kilogram in September. Hog production rose 4.4% in the first nine months of the year and herd size was up 5.4% at the end of September, while rising feed costs added pressure on producer margins.

## Why it matters

Recovering domestic supply has weighed on hog prices, while higher feed costs further squeeze producers and may affect future production decisions. The price decline is bearish for hogs, although margin pressure could eventually discourage supply growth.
