President Rodrigo Duterte has proposed an increase in the minimum access volume (MAV) of imported pork products to 350,000 metric tons (MT) from the present 54,210 MT for the year 2021 to address rising food prices and boost the pork supply in the country.

The apparent shortage of pork supply in the country prompted Duterte in February to approve the Department of Agriculture’s (DA) proposal to review the suggested increase in the country’s pork imports.

The President’s proposed hike in pork imports will be relayed to Congress for its consideration. The increase in MAV will take effect, once lawmakers concur with Duterte’s recommendation.

On February 1, Duterte inked Executive Order 124, which implements a price cap of PHP270 per kg. for pork kasim and pigue, PHP300 per kg. for pork liempo until April 8.
