The Philippine Department of Agriculture is considering suspending sanitary import clearances for pork and selected cuts for up to 60 days starting in November. Already-purchased shipments would still be allowed to enter, and the agriculture secretary said the country had about 170 days of pork stocks.
A temporary halt to new import clearances could reduce incoming pork supply and support domestic hog prices, although existing stocks and shipments would soften the impact. The policy is intended to give local producers room to recover.
