Abstract
Pork accounts for the largest percentage of the meat consumption in Hanoi. Being a developing city, the distribution system of pork as well as other food in Hanoi is still facing a lot of problems. Small‐sized operation dominates all stages from production, live pig trading, slaughtering to retailing activities. All the transactions in the distribution are based on individual negotiations. Price is also determined by individual negotiations. The competition is not so hard in the market with the biggest power being in the hand of the slaughterers. The current institutional organization of the distribution system also put constraints against the modernization and improvement of itself. Only a breakthrough in the retailing system could bring about significant changes in the distribution system as a whole.
