For the group of pig farmers, the crisis will be exacerbated when the Department of Agriculture (DA) implements a price freeze due to the increase in pork prices due to African swine fever (ASF).
Pork Producers Federation of the Philippines (Pro Pork) vice president for Luzon Nicanor Briones explained in TeleRadyo that the supply of pork will only increase because no one will really do business due to the price freeze.
He said the government’s proposed P270 to P300 pork price would not be bearable so the pig farmers will only lose revenue.
No price consultation was also reported.
