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
pork consumption behaviour is thus important for upgrading the pig value chains
in Vietnam. The study is conducted with 416 hous...

Household pork consumption behaviour in Vietnam: Implications for pro-smallholder pig value chain upgrading
Livestock sector in general and pig production in particular are important in Vietnam not only
for supplying food for its growing population but also for their significant contributions to the
country’s economy. Smallholder pig producers which are common, are estimated to supply at
least 80% of p...

Food safety from a global perspective to a country perspective addressing challenges along smallholder pig systems in Vietnam
Pork is widely consumed meat in Vietnam, making up 56% of total meat intake. While delivering significant benefits to smallholders who supply 80% of the market, pork could also cause substantial health consequences due to poor hygiene along the pork chain. To identify feasible interventions along...

Food safety along informal pork value chains in Vietnam: Success and challenges from an interdisciplinary research team view
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
by conventional wet markets). At the same time, the traditional pig sector is under threat from
animal health...

Pork represents more than 70% of meat consumption in Vietnam and
production delivers significant benefits to smallholders who supply 80%

Food borne diseases (FBD) are an increasing global public health concern with
estimated 1 in 10 people falling ill every year from eating contaminated food causing
420,000 deaths. Diarrheal diseases accounted for more than half of the global
burden with children at especial risk (WHO 2015). Evide...
