To combat rising pork prices and to stabilize supplies, the Philippine government announced April 7 that it will provide more market access for pork imports by lower tariff rates. National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) applauded the country’s decision as securing better access to the Philippines market has been a top, long-term trade priority for the organization. “Since 2019, the Philippines has been battling African swine fever (ASF), and as a result, domestic production has declined, supplies have tightened, and pork prices have spiked,” said NPPC President Jen Sorenson, communications director for Iowa Select Farms in West Des Moines, Iowa. “While we are saddened by the spread of ASF in the Philippines, we appreciate the opportunity to send more high-quality U.S. pork to ease the shortage and the spike in prices.”
