The Cebu provincial government is considering a recommended farmgate price, a possible animal feed subsidy, and a protective ordinance for local hog raisers. The measures follow a meeting with the governor where hog raisers cited high feed costs, inflation, rising fuel prices, imported pork, and traders using African Swine Fever fears to lower buying prices.
