Vietnam’s Ha Tinh province promotes safe and efficient poultry farming

The price of chicken eggs has risen sharply, allowing poultry farmers to make profits and creating opportunities for Ha Tinh province in Vietnam to develop poultry farming in a safe and efficient manner, aligned with the construction of new rural areas.

Joining cooperatives and cooperative groups helps farmers feel secure with output purchase contracts, avoiding situations of ‘good harvest, low price’.

Currently, egg prices at household farms range from USD 0.13-0.15 per egg, up USD 0.05-0.06 compared to last month.

Many large farms, such as Nguyen Van Nguyen’s farm in Toan Luu commune, with over 15,000 chickens, collect 7,000 eggs per day, generating considerable profits.

Smaller households are gradually restoring their flock sizes as egg prices rebound, especially in the context of African swine fever, which has led consumers to switch to alternative foods such as chicken eggs.

The rapid increase in egg prices is due to reduced supply, as many households have downsized their flocks after a period of low prices, while demand for eggs as a substitute for pork has surged.

Linking to avoid ‘good harvest, low price’

The positive market encourages people to expand poultry farming, but experts warn that caution is still needed, including maintaining biosecurity, proper vaccination, and farm hygiene.

Joining cooperatives or cooperative groups helps ensure stable output and reduce risks.

Tai Luc Poultry Cooperative (Loc Ha commune) is a typical model: it links with large enterprises to provide chicks, veterinary drugs, feed, and guarantees the purchase of all commercial chickens.

The cooperative currently raises 40,000 chickens per batch, producing 200-220 tons per year, with revenues of nearly USD 458,000 and profits exceeding USD 42,000 per year.

This model has also become a learning point for local farmers on techniques and production linkage.

Currently, linked poultry farming in Ha Tinh province is not only in Loc Ha but has spread to many localities, from industrial farms to medium- and small-scale household farms.

This model helps stabilize the market, improve product quality, reduce intermediary costs, and increase competitiveness and brand value.

Ha Tinh province aims for a 3.5% growth in poultry farming value by the end of 2025.

To achieve this goal, the province cooperates with the Vietnam Cooperative Alliance to support the establishment of multiple cooperatives, serving as a key link connecting farmers, cooperatives, and enterprises, providing chicks and technical guidance, and promoting sustainable development of the livestock sector.
