Marcos, chairwoman of the Senate economic affairs committee, issued the statement as the Senate Committee of the Whole discussed the effects of increased pork importation amid the food crisis brought about by the African Swine Fever (ASF).
“Local hog raisers are reeling from the delay in additional fund assistance attached to a state of calamity declaration. Let’s not wait for more hog raisers to shut down business and for the local industry to collapse,” Marcos said in a statement.

Published April 9, 2021 3:39pm The recently approved reduction on the tariff rates of imported pork is a move that will benefit all Filipinos as this will eventually lower the retail price of pork in the market, Agriculture Secretary William Dar said Friday. “With these lowering of tariff and the ongoing repopulation program, we believe every stakeholder, including the citizenry, in terms of affordable prices ay win-win lahat ito (this is a win-win deal for all),” Dar said during state-run PTV’s Laging Handa briefing. On Wednesday, President Rodrigo Duterte issued the Executive Order 128, which reduced the tariff rate for imported pork within quota or minimum access volume (MAV) whether fresh, chilled or frozen to 5% for the first three months upon the EO’s effectivity and 10% for the fourth to 12th month.
