Denmark, Vietnam cooperate in raising pigs

A visiting 22-member delegation from Denmark has visited some farms in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to study the prospects for pig breeding in the country.

The delegation, led by Lindhart B. Nielsenwill, Director of the Pig Research Centre under Danish Agriculture and Food Council, arrived in Vietnam on March 27.

The Danish Pig Breeding Programme, Danbred International, exports pigs to 30 countries and cooperates with 16 distributors worldwide.

The programme owns modern genetic technology to increase the quantity and quality of breeding pigs, which could help Vietnam develop pig breeders, especially when the country must abide by international food safety standards as member of the World Trade Organization (WTO).

During the visit, the Denmark delegation also held talks with Vietnamese partners on food safety, animal heath care and the latest pig breeding production process.
