# Philippines to suspend pork imports for 60 days amid falling domestic prices

> The Philippine Department of Agriculture approved a 60-day suspension of certain fresh, chilled and frozen pork, carcass and offal imports on November 7, 2026. The move follows a surge in imports, rising frozen pork inventories and falling farmgate pork prices, and officials have not ruled out extending it.

## Why it matters

Cutting Philippine pork imports reduces demand for global pork and removes a buyer from export markets, which is bearish for hog prices in exporting countries. Weaker local hog margins could also trim pork production and feed demand over time.
