00:00 So when is the time to prepare?
00:02 Is the supply of pork still lacking?
00:04 This is the first live news of Nico Juaquez.
00:07 Good morning Susan.
00:12 The 10-day shortage of pork supply is the most worrying in the 4th quarter of 2023.
00:19 According to the Department of Agriculture,
00:21 because of the African Swine Fever,
00:23 they are seeing an importation solution to avoid the price of pork to rise.
00:28 Pork is the main source of income.
00:30 Since Joseph has been selling pork,
00:35 he has not sold imported pork.
00:38 He always sells fresh pork.
00:41 I never tried to sell imported pork.
00:44 It's hard to earn money because it's expensive.
00:50 Maybe the fresh pork sellers,
00:52 but if it's only fresh pork,
00:56 it's not worth it.
00:58 But if what the Department of Agriculture is saying is true,
01:01 that there is a 10-day shortage of pork supply in the 4th quarter of the year
01:06 because of the African Swine Fever,
01:08 Joseph might be forced to sell imported pork.
01:11 If there's nothing to sell,
01:17 as long as we have fresh pork to sell,
01:20 our priority is to sell fresh pork.
01:22 The Department of Agriculture is seeing an importation solution
01:26 to avoid the price of pork to rise.
01:29 They are expecting a rise in demand,
01:31 especially in the month of Bermond.
01:33 Our imports will keep the balance in our country's needs.
01:41 We need that to ensure that pork is still affordable.
01:46 If imported pork enters,
01:51 we won't have problems with the stock.
01:53 Peter says he's learning when the price of pork is rising.
01:58 Just like when we make barbeque,
02:01 if the pork is fresh,
02:04 we can't do it anymore because the store is fixed.
02:09 Now, we'll get imported.
02:11 If it's forced to be fresh, they'll be the ones to suffer.
02:15 If the price rises,
02:16 they'll lose because they'll have fewer customers.
02:20 You can't suddenly raise the price.
02:22 It's like 5 pesos.
02:25 Because there are many customers.
02:27 Customers are complaining.
02:32 Customers like Rosemary say
02:34 pork should be reduced in case the price rises.
02:37 Chicken first.
02:40 Don't buy pork.
02:41 Chicken and vegetables. Fish.
02:44 Flor Delisa, who owns a butcher shop,
02:47 is now getting more expensive because of the price of pork.
02:50 She's reducing her budget.
02:52 Before, I used to cook 2,000 pork.
02:58 Now, I only have 1,500.
03:02 I'm just calculating.
03:03 And the cost of food is not the same.
03:10 If the price of pork rises at the end of the year,
03:13 she might open a different butcher shop.
03:16 The DA will look into the need to put an SRP
03:20 or Suggested Retail Price on pork.
03:22 Susan, the shortage is not yet over.
03:29 Some stores in the Bloomingtrees Market have already raised the price of pork.
03:34 The one we saw earlier, Joseph,
03:37 raised the price of pork by 5 pesos since last week.
03:41 The previous price of 255 pesos is now 260 pesos per kilo.
03:45 Peter raised the price of pork by 10 pesos.
03:48 From Php 270, the price of pork is now Php 280 per kilo.
03:53 Live from Bloomingtrees in Manila,
03:56 I'm Nico Juaje for GMA Integrated News.
