A report from Da Nang’s statistics agency shows that the city’s liveweight hog output for slaughter was estimated at 33,500 tonnes in the first 10 months of 2026, up 11.8% year on year. Pork continued to account for nearly half of total meat output. In early October, Da Nang’s hog herd exceeded 355,100 head, up 3.8% from the same period a year earlier.

Over the same period, Da Nang’s liveweight cattle output for slaughter was estimated at 12,100 tonnes, up 2.7% year on year, while liveweight chicken output for slaughter was estimated at 18,800 tonnes, up 1.7%. The local statistics agency recommended stronger disease surveillance, vaccination, and oversight of transport and slaughter, along with guidance on restocking herds in line with demand to reduce the risks of disease and oversupply.
