Arranza earlier wrote in his BusinessMirror column that a study done by the Center for Research and Communication Foundation, Inc. of the University of Asia and the Pacific found that palm oil is one of the products being smuggled into the Philippines in huge volumes. The study said the impact and multiplier effects of the smuggled goods from the eight industries studied resulted in P495.5 billion losses in the country’s gross domestic product, P1.1 trillion losses in gross output, P77.
Since coconut oil is always priced much higher than palm olein, Arranza said these importers are allegedly “receiving another windfall of cash from substituting coconut oil with palm olein. This is naturally hurting the coconut farmers and industry.” What Arranza finds incredulous is the fact that importation of palm olein being declared as animal feeds additives has been growing by leaps and bounds despite the fact that the Philippine hog sector has been devastated by African swine fever outbreaks. In 2017, inspected net weight of palm olein imports was recorded at 2,781,370 kilograms; the figure went up to 8,515,376 in 2018.
