Statistics show that the province is currently raising about
30,000 heads of indigenous pigs. Among the 22 indigenous pig species announced
in Vietnam, Hoa Binh owns two, namely Man and Ban. Man pig is mainly raised in
districts such as Cao Phong, Ky Son (now Hoa Binh city), Tan Lac, Da Bac and
Kim Boi. Meanwhile, Ban pig is distributed in Cao Phong, Tan Lac, Lac Son, Mai
Chau and Da Bac.
With high economic efficiency, native pig farming is being
expanded in some districts, including Da Bac. Man pig breed is popularly raised
in this mountainous district. This is a small-sized and slow-growing breed. It
often takes from one to three years for each pig to be sold, so the pork is delicious.
Therefore, the price is quite high, and local people often sell them to traders
on holidays, especially Tet.
With the development potential of indigenous pig farming, in
late October 2022, the provincial Cooperative Alliance held a supply-demand
connectivity conference with an aim to develop the native pig husbandry.
According to statistics, the whole province has 14 cooperatives raising
indigenous pigs with a scale of 4,500 heads per year. The figure is expected to
increase to 5,500 - 6,000 in 2023.
At this conference, cooperatives agreed to establish Hoa
Binh Indigenous Pig Cooperative Alliance, thus helping form a chain of links
for sustainable development of farming models. The alliance will cooperate with
the Vietnam Cooperative Alliance to expand, build and protect the market./.
