SINAG questioned why wet-market pork prices in Manila are rising even though supplies are not short and farm-gate prices have fallen to PHP 140–160 per kilo. Retail prices vary by cut and market, and the group said the widening gap between farm-gate and retail prices points to high middleman margins and weak monitoring.
The reported disconnect suggests retail costs are not reflecting lower farm-gate prices, while falling farm-gate prices indicate pressure on producers. The article does not establish a change in pork supply or demand that would signal a broader livestock-price move.
