00:00The Department of Agriculture assured that there is no reason to raise the price of pork
00:05because there will be no problem with the supply.
00:07Witness Tina Panganiban Perez.
00:13Despite the spread of African Swine Fever in some provinces
00:17and the death of thousands of pigs,
00:20there is no visible problem with the supply of pork
00:23is the secret of the Department of Agriculture.
00:26This is the concern of Agapartylis,
00:29especially in Burmonks where there is a lot of preparation.
00:32I didn't see any perceived shortage.
00:36It's farm-based lockdown now,
00:38not the whole municipality or the whole province.
00:41So there will still be a movement.
00:45Laurel also said that there is no reason to raise the price of pork and processed meat.
00:51No reason to increase prices.
00:53Sir, what is the impact of ASF on the processed meat industry?
00:57There should be none.
00:59So it's the same, no supply shortage and no price increase?
01:05Yes.
01:06The DA raised P150 million for financial assistance to affected hog raisers.
01:13P4,000 will be paid for each pig or small pig.
01:17P8,000 for medium-sized and P12,000 for large.
01:23The DA said that the payment was already raised
01:25so that the sick pigs will not be forced to leave.
01:29The DA expects that next week,
01:31the first batch of 10,000 doses of the vaccine against ASF will be distributed.
01:37P350 million was raised for 600,000 doses
01:43that the DA will give free to the affected by ASF.
01:48Agapartylis said that this is not enough
01:51because the backyard hog raisers are already raising 6 million pigs.
01:56The backyard raisers cannot afford to pay P600 per pig.
02:02So if we are going to give free to our backyard raisers,
02:06we will need P3.6 billion to buy the vaccine.
