Cebu Governor Pamela Baricuatro signaled the province may restrict entry of live hogs from Negros Oriental, despite her executive order aimed at lowering local pork prices. The move follows complaints from local hog raisers who say they were forced to sell live hogs for as low as P105 per kilo.
Restricting Negros hog imports would tighten Cebu's local pork supply and could keep retail pork prices high, while the wide farm-gate to retail gap points to middleman margins. The effect on feed demand is local and modest.
