A considerable number of consumers have turned their backs on pork, including ‘clean products" that helped drive the sharp increase in pork demand. Consumers can safely eat well-cooked pork of clearly labelled and have quarantine stamps. Strong pork demand and short supply caused by blue ear pig disease have pushed up Dong Nai’s pork prices.
