The Philippine Department of Agriculture said it does not expect an unusual increase in pork prices during the Christmas season, citing an oversupply of pork products. The department said current minimum supply was sufficient for 170 days, while national average retail prices for fresh pork and liempo eased in the second half of October.
Large available stocks relative to demand reduce the likelihood of a holiday-season supply squeeze and should limit upward pressure on pork prices. The outlook is price-stabilizing to mildly bearish unless demand strengthens unexpectedly.
