The Philippine Department of Agriculture authorized a 60-day quantitative restriction on imports of selected pork cuts, including carcasses, hams, shoulders and livers. The order followed an investigation that found increased imports had injured the domestic swine industry; officials said the restriction could be extended.
Restricting imported pork could reduce competing supplies and support domestic hog prices and producer sales. The impact may be limited if the restriction lasts only 60 days.
