Philippine inflation rose to 7.8% in October, a 44-month high, driven by a 20% rise in transport costs from higher petrol prices. The year-to-date rate is 5.6%, and the central bank raised rates by 50 basis points to 5.5%.
Higher fuel and transport costs raise the cost of delivering feed and grain in the Philippines, and a weaker peso adds to import costs. The rate hike tightens financing for feed mills and livestock producers.
