11/12/2010

Within two months ago, Mong Cai border gate on the day transit hundreds of tons of pig "escaped" to China.

Before learning about the real situation rushing pig "escaped" to China in recent times, we've visited Animal Quarantine Station, Mong Cai, Quang Ninh. Station chief Nguyen Minh Cuong all sighed shaking his head back by the way station on the day in front of trucks carrying pigs ran jam jam but agency officials had looked at each impotence. According to the station, every day there are about 40-50 trucks transporting pigs from the gathering place in Mong Cai and smuggling to China. At least 10 tons per vehicle pigs, a total of nearly 500 tonnes of sugar quota under the boat.

Many concerns

There is a strange thing is that almost everyone knows the export of pigs in-quota across the border into China at the end of the year was against the rules, but violating the principle seems to be "ignored." The main responsibility of the Market Management Department, Veterinary Quang Ninh province, but the pig export quota met hardly any interference from these forces.

While pigs Austria went well in China, Mong Cai, chicken also massively smuggling contraband across the border. His strength properties that border 90 km from Tien Yen District to Mong Cai city, every night, footsteps in chickens smuggled sugar quota overflow. Estimated tens of tons per day and chicken "break" over the border and then by bus to spill into consumption. Absolutely no control or handle anything. And of course the number of smuggled chickens can not know what diseases are not.

Explain the situation has left way information flow. Was that pork exports are under quota though, hard to control it more or less beneficial as this will stimulate the livestock industry. So the export of pigs "illegal" despite being seen as contrary to principle but is tacit green light. But we also have comments concerned the massive exports to China pig like pig meat will cause shortages, especially at a time when our country bordered festival is on track to recovery after the storm flock " storm blue ear. "

In a recent meeting of the Animal Husbandry Department (MARD) has mentioned the problem of "pork exports massively." There are fears the livestock industry in the country despite an average increase of 7-8% per year but still can not meet domestic consumer demand, businesses still have to import meat. By this time, Vietnam has imported 60,000 tons of pork and poultry. From now until the end of 2010, will have to import 20,000 more tons. The Ministry has asked localities to strictly control increase the export of pigs across the border, but in the main to Nguyen Minh Cuong, the control is nearly impossible.

"Pigs are just" going "massively so, so many difficulties arise. How about supply and demand are not known but the situation is difficult because of quarantine forces too thin. Prescribed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the local quarantine station must contain the clue. However, Quang Ninh province has not done this "- his strength fear.
