DNHN - Constantly rising costs for animal feed inputs and rampant smuggling place businesses and livestock farmers in a precarious position fraught with numerous risks of insolvency.
According to the Vietnam Poultry Breeding Association (VIPA), tens of thousands of tonnes of abandoned live chickens are smuggled into our country each month. In addition, there are numerous low-priced livestock byproducts, such as legs, heads, necks, wings, skins, and gizzards of poultry, especially waste layer chickens (also known as chickens) from which the heads, legs, and offal have been removed and which are frozen. Vietnam imports a great deal of tough chicken (which most developed nations do not consume) in very large quantities.
These products carry numerous risks of avian influenza virus strains and numerous other dangerous infectious diseases imported from abroad, which are highly contagious and pose a significant threat to the poultry industry and human health. people.
Simultaneously, the price of input materials and animal feed is rising while the price of the final product is falling, causing headaches for businesses. There was a time when the selling price of some poultry products was less than two-thirds of their production costs, causing the poultry industry to face numerous difficulties and obstacles. Numerous businesses and poultry farms are in danger of bankruptcy; tens of thousands of chicken and duck farms have been forced to scale back production or cease operations due to prolonged losses.

Faced with this situation, VIPA has recently submitted a written proposal to the Prime Minister, the National Assembly Standing Committee, and relevant ministries and branches, urging them to consider several immediate and long-term solutions to eliminate problems. about the poultry industry.
Therefore, VIPA requests that the competent authorities routinely inspect, control, prevent, and punish organizations and individuals that illegally transport and trade in poultry and poultry products across international borders.
The government swiftly issued a document prohibiting the import of meat products from nations where Ractopamine and Cysteamine are used as growth stimulants. Examine and reduce some quarantine fees and administrative redundancies.
According to VIPA, the current regulations for calculating quarantine fees for animals and animal products on shipments are unclear and unreasonable. In reality, the customers of livestock and poultry slaughterhouses are extremely diverse, with many small customers ordering only a single order of 5 to 10 kilograms of meat; however, during the quarantine period, officials impose a minimum order size of 10 kilograms. The specialized industry is still considered a shipment and is charged 100,000 VND, the equivalent of one container's quarantine fee. This regulation has increased poultry abattoir production costs.
On the other hand, while livestock and poultry raising and slaughtering businesses face many challenges, there are numerous other regulations, such as the collection of a 200 VND/poultry quarantine fee and regulations on the implementation of more stringent biosecurity measures. A further step in announcing independent regulation conformity by Circular No. 05/VBHN-BKHCN dated August 28, 2017... Therefore, it is recommended that ministries and branches examine and implement solutions to help reduce the cost of agricultural production's inputs and raw materials.
Simultaneously, it is necessary to specify export goals and a timetable for key livestock products in each period, to expedite negotiations to expand the export market for livestock products and to support livestock product exports. To reduce the time required to prepare negotiating documents, businesses implement administrative procedures and technical regulations for the export of animal products. Supporting businesses with practical measures such as exemptions and rent reductions and investment credit support.
