High prices of pigs have also caused the prices of pork cuts at wholesale markets to increase sharply. Of which, first-grade pork cuts were sold at VND110,000 per kilogram, and second-grade pork cuts at VND98,000 per kilogram.
The representative of the management board of Tan Dinh Market said that the prices of pork remained unchanged since before June this year. Despite the information that live pigs have been importing from Thailand to Southern provinces, the prices of pork have not changed yet.
Earlier, in response to the State’s encouragement, some traders had also tried to sell cool meat but consumers did not favor it. Although cool meat is produced under a strict procedure from farm to table, the price of cool meat is merely a little higher than fresh meat.
For instance, the prices of cool meat of MEAT Deli included rib tips at VND300,000 per kilogram, pork belly at VND240,000 per kilogram, pork chop at VND150,000 per kilogram, and ham at VND180,000 per kilogram.
