# With revenue rising but profits falling, the livestock business faces a double challenge

> Vietnam’s pig and poultry sectors expanded in the first nine months of 2026: pig numbers rose 5.4% year over year, pork production increased 4.4%, and poultry meat output rose 5.3%. Despite the growth, livestock businesses faced selling-price and input-cost pressure; Dabaco’s third-quarter revenue rose 37% year over year while net profit fell 41%, as cost of goods sold increased faster than sales.
