Chinese chicken waste journey to Vietnam
Talking to PV Conference implement disease prevention and control trade in livestock and poultry on 1/11 in Ho Chi Minh City, Nguyen Thanh Son, Deputy Director of Animal Husbandry Department (MARD) scene reported, with large growth of flocks, combined with the economic downturn continues and longer lasting stress, people still tighter spending would lead to the end of 2012 market surplus chicken. Adjectives So far this year, the number of poultry reached 330 million, an increase of 2.5% compared to the same period in 2011. Currently, the price of chicken meat is very low in northern industrial chicken prices at 29,000 - 30,000 VND / kg, the South has 25,000 - 26,000 dong.kg. With this price, farmers are holes from 2,000 - 4,000 VND / kg.

It is worth mentioning that while Vietnam is cheap surplus chicken, chicken cull chickens smuggled Chinese super cheap prices still massively smuggled into the country. Per day there are about a dozen buses carrying from 40,000 to 100,000 birds. One estimate, there were about 170,000 tons of chicken smuggled steam, this is a startling number, equal to half the number of chicken import quota of 1 year.
Gathering places layer disposed at most at the gate Chi Ma, Tan Thanh Lang Son and Mong Cai, Quang Ninh. In fact, this color is chicken feed to the farms of China, after the end of the laying cycle about 48 weeks.However, when the Vietnamese know their consumption of chicken waste, only for about 42 - 43 weeks and then fattened and sold to traders.Vietnamese traders going to take place to "collect" on a very cheap price, plus the cost of shipping only takes about 15,000 VND / kg.
After returning home, the chicken has not been consumed in a hurry that just "hiding" in the Vietnamese farm about ten days to cover the eyes of the authorities. After that, we hit the market with the label "dai chicken" but no one knows it is the Chinese chickenFor example, when on to Mong Cai, will team up to 30,000 - 35,000 VND / kg. That is not to say, if included in the poultry markets such as the market Ha Vy - Hanoi, the level will range from 65,000 to 70,000 VND / kg.
"Due to the large profits so the recruiter always despite all the tricks. If caught, they are ready to dispose of the shipment. Therefore, the case of smuggled chickens the authorities arrested just as salt neglect, "Son said.
Smuggled chickens, enter always virus
According to Van Dang Ky, Chief of Epidemiology, Department of Animal Health, the chicken cull in water will overflow control diseases, especially avian influenza. All virus groups A, B, C are widely circulated and provinces from the North Central, South. Most likely this virus comes from China, spreading from waste chicken smuggled sugar in Vietnam. By regular, ever, chicken "bald" China go to where the virus in poultry go there. This would be an incalculable danger to people and pets.
That is not to say, food safety can not be guaranteed. "Although not proven quality Chinese smuggled chicken but make sure it contains toxic residues for the Chinese to use antibiotics indiscriminately. Moreover, usually, just about 2 weeks hens injected with antibiotics once to prevent disease, the culture period longer than 1 year should be a very high amount of residual antibiotics. Not to mention, to the deep egg yolk, farmers also use food coloring industrial heavy metal impurities to mix food ... So, the Chinese do not have to eat this chicken, "Son said.
MARD also forecast, from now to the end of the year to serve the market for Chinese New Year 2013, imported chicken will also in many countries.Therefore, if the authorities do not control the illegal import of poultry, livestock will not survive. Dangerous than our country from an agricultural background to import chicken meat.
Reducing imports of Korean chicken
Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, said this to the Korean import chicken still safe due to having no chemical residues of antibiotics. However, the Korean chicken prices so cheap that consumers still need to be noted. Since the beginning of this year, Vietnam imported more than 6.1 tons of chicken Korea, accounting for 11.7% of total chicken imports. Whole frozen chicken is entered, no head, no legs, with the price of 17,050 VND / kg. Besides, at present, a number of supermarkets has fallen in and stop selling chicken Korea.
