# Livestock farmers face a "double burden" from rising production costs

> Livestock farmers in Thanh Hoa province, Vietnam, face volatile and rising feed prices, which have been raised seven times in 2026, alongside weak live pig prices that hit a two-year low of about 43,000 VND/kg in late October. Many farms are cutting output, shrinking herds or leaving barns empty, and smaller producers are borrowing to fund operations.
