ArticleAn Assessment of the Economic Impacts of the 2019 African Swine Fever Outbreaks in Vietnam 2021
Also available in:
No results found.The 2019 African swine fever (ASF) outbreaks in Vietnam imposed considerable impacts on the pig sector in Vietnam, resulting in the death or culling of nearly six million pigs, or more than 20% of the country’s pig population. In order to assess the magnitude of the outbreak at sector level (both on farm and at value chain level), on livelihoods, and on the broader national economy, a comprehensive impact assessment was conducted using a mixed-methods approach that integrated a value chain assessment with the use of quantitative modeling tools at sector and national levels. The results showed that the outbreak caused severe direct and indirect economic losses among farmers, particularly medium- and large-farmers whose livelihoods are largely derived from pig production. At sector level, the outbreaks posed adverse impacts on the domestic supply and demand for pork, especially in the traditional sector. Meanwhile, the modern sector with higher levels of biosecurity and high technology growth was less likely to be affected and even benefited from the outbreak, which was evidenced by increased supply and income throughout the simulation period in this sector. At national level, different model simulation scenarios showed a sharp reduction in total gross domestic product (GDP) and a substantial loss of jobs. Improvements in the system of ASF compensation scheme are needed, both in terms of its administration, but also in its targeting, with greater emphasis needed on developing improved risk-sharing and funding mechanisms across national and local levels. -

Poster, bannerTokoni'i 'A Hono Malu'i 'A Tonga Mei He African Swine Fever 2021
Also available in:
No results found.African swine fever (ASF) is a contagious viral disease that affects pigs and wild boars with a near 100 percent fatality rate. This alarming disease has economically impacted Asia with millions of pigs culled in China and Vietnam in an effort to control the disease. The threat of ASF reaching the Pacific is real despite the geographical distance of Tonga and other Pacific countries have from ASF hotspots in Asia and Europe. FAO is supporting countries in the control and prevention of ASF. This ASF information material will provide the public with information on ASF and how to prevent the entry and spread of the disease into the country.
