Sinag, hog raisers press conference
HOG FARMERS PUSH FOR HIGHER PORK IMPORT TARIFFS Samahang Industriya ng Agrikultura (SINAG) chairman Rosendo So and National Federation of Hog Farmers Inc. president Chester Tan call on the government to restore pork import tariffs to 40 percent for out-of-quota imports and 30 percent for in-quota shipments during a press conference in Quezon City on Friday, 9 October 2026. The groups say farmgate prices have fallen to P90 to P120 per kilogram despite rising production costs, leaving hog raisers with estimated losses of P5,000 to P9,000 per animal. They also urge authorities to suspend the release of imported frozen pork from cold storage facilities, strengthen quarantine measures and conduct full inspections of imported meat at ports.
