Philippines’ pork imports for this year are still seen to go higher at 425,000 metric tons (MT), even despite the already 401 percent surge in pork imports the country recorded from January to April of this year.
This is following the release of the Department of Agriculture’s (DA) guidelines that specified how the importation of an additional volume of 200,000 MT of pork under the tariff-rate quota or Minimum Access Volume (MAV) will be implemented.
In its latest report, the US Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) here in Manila (Post) raised its pork import forecast for the Philippines to 425,000 MT, 21 percent higher than the USDA official forecast of 350,000 MT.

Senator Christopher “Bong” Go on Tuesday, May 11, expressed his support for President Duterte’s decision to issue Proclamation No. 1143 which declares a State of Calamity throughout the Philippines for a maximum of one year due to the African Swine Fever (ASF) outbreak.
“With the declaration of a State of Calamity, mas madaling makapag-impose ng price ceiling kung kailangan at maiwasan ang overpricing ng pork products (it is easier to impose price ceilings when it is needed to prevent overpricing of pork products). Ang mga government financial institutions naman ay maaari rin magbigay ng no-interest loans sa mga producers na apektado ng ASF (Government financial institutions may also extend no-interest loans to producers affected by ASF),” he said.
