Hog growers in Cebu say traders are paying as little as PHP105 per kilogram for live hogs, while pork sells for as much as PHP300 per kilogram in public markets. The report describes a wide gap between farmgate and retail prices and growers' appeal for government assistance.
Low farmgate prices weaken incentives and income for local hog producers, while the high retail price indicates that the margin is not reaching farmers. The report does not establish a change in national pork supply, so the direct effect on feed demand and hog prices is uncertain.
