An Inquirer monitoring of the pork prices in this city, which is the regional seat, in the past few days reported that the premium belly part or liempo ranged from P299 to P320 per kilo at a major supermarket and meat shop, and P280 in the talipapa or roadside stalls.The January 28 monitoring of DA’s Agribusiness and Marketing Assistance Service showed the price of liempo was only P240 per kilo and P188 for kasim.
Myrna Habacon, regional director of the National Meat Inspection Service, admitted that swine supply in the region has become tighter as producers cutback on volume.“Due to the presence of ASF in some parts of the country, commercial hog raisers in Region 12, particularly in South Cotabato and General Santos City, engaged in conservative swine production for fear the highly contagious disease will infect their farms,” she told Inquirer on the phone.
In Cagayan de Oro City, DA-10 regional technical director for operations Carlota Madriaga said they have dialogued with hog producers and determined that there is no spike in their cost of production.Madriaga earlier branded as only “artificial” the surge in pork prices in northern Mindanao, attributing it to competition for tight supply between local meat vendors and traders bringing hog supply to the Visayas and Luzon.
