Hundreds of thousands of tons of chicken imports from the US are being sold for less than 20,000 dong / kg, cheaper than  fresh chicken  in the country from 30-50%. This has caused the domestic market crisis, causing heavy losses in poultry last year.

Talking to Reporter newspaper messenger, PhD. Tran Duy Khanh (Vice Chairman Poultry Association Vietnam) said: "We are also making written recommendations to the government soon solve this problem." According to Dr. Khanh, the actual selling price of chicken in the United States are not so cheap: chicken breasts sold for $ 7 USD / kg, thighs and wings on 3 USD / kg ...

"However, coming to Vietnam, cheap American chicken unusual, unbelievable. The reason is actually quite easy to understand. 2014, in the US outbreak  of avian influenza  great. As soon as this flu outbreaks, many countries worldwide have banned imports of chicken from the United States. Particularly Vietnam, until the date 05/01/2015 has just begun ban "- the vice president of poultry Association VN identified .

Meanwhile, the production process continues to be a large amount of meat to be stagnant. The amount of this product is naturally stored frozen. US frozen process very well so this meat could be preserved for a long time. However, because there is no place of consumption, a large product volume was nearly expired, even had to move to make animal feed. Therefore, it has been selling products cheaply as for.That's deep causes chicken imported from the United States have such amazingly cheap.

In addition, Dr. Khanh also adds: Vietnam is currently no technical barriers in this field so businesses have enlisted advantage to circumvent the law. Import duties on 20%, whole chicken, but when they cut off his head less than a 5% tax. This is very unreasonable!

Do not let Vietnam into the landfill of waste material byproducts!

Before the local chicken farmers suffered heavy losses, people have to use poor-quality goods, PhD. Tran Duy Khanh said: We can say, for industry, Vietnam is capable of coming up industrial waste landfill. And if no corrective measures early, fall Vietnam will become landfill waste by-product categories. The types of products which, in essence was shoddy, while on the domestic market not only disrupt the local market but also more kinds of marinated products, toxic chemicals, the consequences do not know What will? "Without timely measures, fall Vietnam will become outdated where chicken consumption in China, Korea ... Ultimately, the most disadvantaged consumers still are!" - Mr Khanh urgent.

Also discusses this issue, Vu Vinh Phu (Chairman Hanoi Supermarket Association) said: The most important issue is still the State management process. State to enter the course, but enterprises will enter the quality of the inspection work, the origin of products in the gate to make sure. For this, the State must invest technical equipment, and also to bars, strict monitoring to avoid negative happens.

Currently, not only the chicken, but the other imported products is also quite vague about the origin and quality. While consumers themselves and not look cheap is buying smart enough to consider, choices. Design thinking, authorities should strictly deal with the application are retail, wholesale ambiguous behavior, deceit. "Without corrective measures, perhaps the situation will only get worse! Especially when the zero rate, on goods imported from abroad are comfortable." - Mr Phu said.

When asked why Vietnam has banned the import of chicken from the United States in which to present day 05.01.2015, US chickens are still flooding the market, Mr Phu said: That is because my sewing poor management. Business interest in the food of the people are very poor and mercy for buyers, sellers want to do whatever. "Affordable, meal here with outdated, poor quality and not to the extent the fatal day, so people do not need to worry?" - Mr. Phu share.

Continuing to discuss US chicken, Phu said he added: "For this ultra-cheap imported chicken Is discarded goods from the US or do not have to carry out the verification. To test the force must have a professional to do this job. But who is going to do and the products in the supermarket, there may be able to test the product is rather widespread in the market can control all okay? "

Vu Vinh Phu experts also said that: In the country must boost production to lower cost. If every state maintains a chicken carrying 14 charges remains unknown to ever better new farmers. Moreover,food safety and hygiene  are a lot of problem do not know where to start, who is responsible. If a feast of the Vietnamese that all three ministries jointly responsible, think also difficult to remove.
