# Livestock farmers in Nghe An suffer losses as live animal prices plunge and rearing costs soar

> Many livestock farms in Nghe An province, Vietnam, are reporting losses as live pig and chicken prices keep falling while feed and other input costs rise. One large pig farm reports losses of 5-6 billion VND per month since September, with pork selling at 42,000-43,000 VND/kg against a breakeven above 50,000 VND/kg. Some smaller households are shrinking herds and holding back on reinvestment.

## Why it matters
