Viet Nam will import 20,000 breeding pigs from Thailand this year, as the country is seeking to rebuild its hog herd battered by an African swine-fever outbreak. Over the next four years, the industry is expected to import over 100,000 breeding pigs to repopulate the country's pig herd following the ASF outbreaks.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) said that the domestic pork supply is forecast to increase from February.
