# Rising input costs put livestock farmers under 'double pressure'

> Feed companies raised prices by 300 to 400 dong per kg from October 1, the seventh increase in 2026. Live hog prices fell to around 43,000 dong per kg in late October, a two-year low, and have only recovered slightly since. Farmers are cutting herd sizes and some farms are leaving pens empty.

## Why it matters

Higher feed costs combined with weak hog prices squeeze producer margins and reduce future herd rebuilding, which can weigh on demand for feed ingredients.
