Nguyen Thi Tuyet, rancher 3 hens hatched, Tan An (Vinh Cuu District), said: "With a total population of about 30 thousand children, only in a few months I hole more than 1 billion.

But the service has expired for more than 2 months now, broiler prices have increased again at 43-46 thousand dollars / kg, help farmers cut holes, separate egg prices have yet to rebound. "Eggs Egypt not much on the market, the price previously I always sell 25-26 thousand dollars / dozen.

To draw capital, Cuong forced to buy food ingredients mixed to lower costs.

* In search of solutions

According to the provincial Animal Health Department, hens herd of Dong Nai is nearly 2.6 million. Each month, the farm market provides nearly 40 million eggs. However, the price of eggs by nearly 5 months is always below cost, many farmers have not lasted descending.

Guess Kim Nguyen, vice president of Dong Nai Livestock Association, said: "A series of large farm hens in the province to reduce the herd to reduce losses. But many farms dare not stopped since capital investment spending quite large, about 1 billion VND / camp 10 thousand scale. In this context, the association encourages farmers should buy materials, self mixing feed to reduce cost and application processes livestock biosecurity, reduce costs to maintain over price crisis " .

Mr. Nguyen Van Ninh, South hen farm owners Son, Quang Trung (Unified District) expressed: "Before the price of eggs at egg farms and selling prices to consumers vary only from 1.5 to 1.6 times , but this difference to 2.5 times. State should consider the view is not so reasonable. If this goes on for long, the egg-laying chicken farms will be wiped out. "
General Director of JSC CP Vietnam Livestock Sooksunt Jiumjaiswanglerg commented: "In terms of egg prices falling below the current price, if the farms in the province not to create a link from the chain farm to fork, not shared difficulties, profit is very difficult to maintain. The State must also support the capital raising, the management good market new livestock sector for sustainable development ".
