VN livestock industry in danger as imports are too cheap
VN livestock industry in danger as imports are too cheapVietNamNet Bridge - Vietnamese livestock farmers are under pressure as their products are uncompetitive in comparison with surprisingly cheap poultry and animal meat imports. As domestic products are more expensive, restaurants, street shops and catering companies tend to use imports, forcing the average price down. Hoang Thanh Van, head of the Animal Husbandry Department, said domestic meat products are expensive because of high production costs. However, as the import tariff on feed imports was recently slashed to zero percent from 5-10 percent, the production cost has decreased. Pham Duc Binh, deputy chair of the Vietnam Animal Feed Association, said the expenses on feed account for 70 percent of the production cost.

An unnatural belief in natural cures
An unnatural belief in natural curesThere seemed to be a collective gasp of horror as the news spread recently of a mother and her new-born dying as she tried to give birth at home. After the natural childbirth and its attendant risks, the “natural” people also take their belief in breastfeeding and breast milk to the extreme. In their eyes, breast milk is a panacea for all infant ills. For instance, she claims that breast milk can treat heart disease in newborns and that it even allows “a child’s cut thumbs to grow back." The Vietnamese Government has been coming down hard on advertising-based choices made by mothers to feed their children formula milk instead of breast milk.

Traditional grocers lose out to modern retailHai Huong, 66, owns a small grocery store in an alley off Huynh Dinh Hai Street in HCM City’s Binh Thanh District. Most of her once-regular customers have switched to convenience stores or mini supermarkets, which are mushrooming in that area. Thousands of these so-called mom and pop shops in cities and towns around the country face a similar fate as modern retail shops spring up everywhere. Products sold at modern retail stores are perceived as safer than those sold in wet markets and traditional grocery shops. The rapid development of the modern retail channel is also thanks to Government policies, which are always favourable to it.
