As the year draws to a close, unscrupulous traders take advantage of the surge in pork prices to peddle their substandard meat products for personal gain.

On April 17, two provinces in Vietnam, Hoa Binh and Bac Kan, met the criteria to be declared free of the African swine fever epidemic after 30 days of no new cases, as per regulations. With the successful containment of the disease, pig farmers and sellers breathed a collective sigh of relief.

African Swine Fever is a highly contagious disease that has been spreading rapidly across multiple countries. In Vietnam, the outbreak has already affected three provinces - Thai Binh, Hung Yen, and Hai Phong - resulting in massive pig deaths. With no known cure or treatment, the disease has sparked concerns among homemakers about the safety of consuming infected pork.
