DA to release SRP for imported pork within the week
Department of Agriculture (DA) Secretary William Dar stated that the agency is finalizing the suggested retail price (SRP) for imported pork within the week.
The new SRP will be based on Executive Order (EO) 128, which reduces pork import tariffs to between five percent and 20 percent.
The DA aims to import pork only from countries without African Swine Fever (ASF).
To prevent ASF entry, the DA has banned products from ASF-affected countries and will intensify first border inspection and random testing on pork products.
