"The Land Bank of the Philippines and Development Bank of the Philippines are setting aside P30 billion and P12 billion, respectively, to lend to commercial swine raisers. But these long-term measures take time. We need an immediate strategy to temper the current high pork price situation,” Dar said.
The members of Duterte's economic team and Senate on Wednesday agreed to modify the tariff rates for imported pork products under the Executive Order (EO) No. 28, which was signed to address pork supply issues.
