He said the average price of pork is stillstable, around 65,000-66,000 VND per kilo in the northand about 60,000-61,000 VND in the south.
However, there has been a priceincrease recently to 75,000 VND per kilo, which is due to mistakes in circulation and miscommunication, not lack of supply,according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD).

Together with dealing with the Africanswine flu, the domestic agriculture sector has encourage the production of poultry, cattle and seafood so the totalfood supply does not fall short.

More than five million pigs have beenculled in a bid to stop the outbreak spreading.
