He spoke yesterday at an urgent meeting in Hà Nội with animal husbandry firms seeking measures to rescue the pig-farming industry. As a first move, Cường said, firms needed to reduce the price of input materials, such as breeding pigs, feed and veterinary medicine. The minister said if the price drop continued, most husbandry households, even big farms, would be unable to operate, affecting feed business households, too. Some 45 per cent of the industry are pig farms, while the remainder are small farming households. Cường said the ministry would apply advanced technologies for the industry in order to raise capacity and reduce price.
