Analyzing the value chain of pork industry in Chau Thanh district, Tra Vinh province
Investigating agents in the pork value chain in Chau Thanh district, Tra Vinh province to assess the status of pork production, processing and consumption in the locality using the value chain approach. The findings showed that the process of product consumption from the producers (livestock breeders) to the final consumers is quite closely connected. This connection forms a product distribution network in which all participating factors play an important, positive role in delivering the product to consumers. However, to reach the consumers, pork products must go through many intermediate stages, in which pig farmers suffer losses because traders dominate the buying and selling prices, negatively affecting the producers' profits and competition in the market. Therefore, to solve this problem, we need to build a stable input and output market.
