# Agriculture group puzzled by soaring pork prices

> 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.

## Why it matters

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.
