Pork prices may rise by P1.25/kilo as Christmas Day nears—DA
The Department of Agriculture (DA) stated that pork prices might increase by up to P1.25 per kilogram as Christmas Day approaches.
The current suggested retail price (MSRP) for pork is P370 per kilogram for liempo and P330 per kilogram for kasim and pigue.
DA Assistant Secretary Genevieve Guevarra explained that liempo is considered a choice cut, hence its higher price compared to other pork cuts.
Guevarra noted that historical trends show a slight price increase during the holiday season, typically around P1.25 per kilo, due to rising demand for Noche Buena feasts.
