The effects of direct and indirect input factors on pig productivity and its production risk in Hung Yen, Vietnam, were investigated. In using a moment-based approach, a Cobb-Douglas production function was applied to capturing mean, variance, and skewness effects. The results of this study showe...

Pig production and risk exposure: A case study in Hung Yen, Vietnam
Pork represents more than 70% of meat consumption in Vietnam, and pig production
provides livelihood for more than 4 million small farmers in the country. Understanding

Household pork consumption behaviour in Vietnam: Implications for pro-smallholder pig value chain upgrading
The traditional pig sector plays a significant role in Vietnam’s economy from production, especially
for farmers in rural areas, to consumption (more than 90% of pork consumed is supplied

Characterizing pig value chains in Vietnam: descriptive analysis from survey data
In Vietnam, there are about four million households producing pigs of which more than half are producing at small scale, i.e., about one to two pigs per production cycle. One of the most critical constraints to pig production, especially for small scale, is the presence of animal disease. Many ty...
