# Pork Imports Halted for 60 Days; Hog Raisers Also Want Tariff Hike

> The Philippine Department of Agriculture ordered a 60-day suspension of imports of fresh and frozen pork cuts, carcasses and edible offal, citing the need to support the hog industry. The department said inventories could cover 170 days of demand and noted that imports made up 65% of pork available in the first half of 2026; the agriculture secretary said the suspension could be extended.

## Why it matters

Restricting imports reduces foreign supply competing with domestic pork and could support local hog prices, although large inventories may limit the near-term impact. A possible extension would tighten supply further if stocks are drawn down.
