# High meat, poultry production costs blamed on corn tariffs - BusinessWorld Online

> The Philippine Association of Feed Millers says corn tariffs in the Philippines raise livestock and poultry production costs, with corn priced up to $0.44/kg versus $0.24 to $0.38/kg in neighboring countries. It cites a NEDA study and urges the government to review its high corn tariff rates.
