The Philippines’ Department of Agriculture imposed a 60-day halt on imports of certain pork products to help local hog raisers recover from losses attributed to cheaper imported pork. The department said pork imports reached 836,240 metric tons in 2025, while imports accounted for 65% of domestic production in the first half of 2026.
Restricting imports reduces pork supply available to the domestic market and is intended to support farmgate prices for local producers. The price effect may be limited by the ban’s short duration and its coverage of only certain products.
