DA sets suggested pork price cap for the holidays
The Department of Agriculture (DA) has implemented maximum suggested retail prices (MSRP) for pork in Metro Manila, effective December 5, to control inflation during the Christmas season.
Pork liempo is capped at P370 per kilogram, while kasim and pigue will be priced no higher than P330 per kilogram.
These new price caps were established after consultations with meat retailers and other stakeholders in the pork value chain.
The DA noted that retail prices had recently spiked to unusually high levels, with liempo reaching as much as P480 per kilo in early November, despite falling farm gate prices.
The department also recently set a P120 per kilo MSRP for carrots, and previously for red and white onions.
