DA sets max prices for hogs shipped to Metro Manila
The Department of Agriculture (DA) has set maximum prices for the landed cost of hogs shipped to Metro Manila from different regions to control pork prices.
Hogs from Mindanao will have a capped price of P165 per kilogram, while those from other regions like Visayas and Bicol can be priced at up to P170/kg. Hogs from Central Luzon and CALABARZON are capped at P180/kg.
The DA is providing transport subsidies via regional field offices to ensure unhampered supply of pork to Metro Manila, helping suppliers comply with the 60-day price ceiling ordered by President Duterte.
