The Senate, last March 15, adopted a resolution asking Duterte to reject the Department of Agriculture’s (DA) proposal to lower the tariffs and increasing the minimum access volume (MAV) for pork imports. Duterte already approved the DA’s recommendation to increase the MAV from the 54,210 metric tons (MT) to 350,000 MT within this year. On Wednesday, April 7, he signed another executive order modifying the import duty on pork products from the current in-quota tariff of 30 percent to five percent for the first three months and to 10 percent for fourth to 12th month of its effectivity.
