This is the latest move following Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Environment Phung Duc Tien’s official letter requesting the Ministry of Public Security to investigate the case.
According to the Department of Animal Husbandry, Veterinary and Fisheries of Hau Giang Province, the two ministries are assigned to conduct the inspection and verification, while local specialized agencies will only provide support.
Initially, inspections will be conducted at facilities in Soc Trang and Hau Giang provinces.
The case is now in the phase of data collection. Once the conclusion is reached, the authorities will announce the public, said a representative from the Department of Animal Husbandry, Veterinary and Fisheries of Hau Giang Province.
Earlier, on June 6, Mr. L.Q.N, residing in My Xuyen Town, My Xuyen District, Soc Trang Province, posted images of pigs with unusual red spots on social media. He accused C.P. Vietnam of selling diseased pork.
