00:00Lechon is expected to have a higher price than Laloma, which is popular here in Metro Manila.
00:06And in the markets, pork and chicken are still expensive even if the supply is very high.
00:11Mark Salazar witnessed it.
00:17The price of pork and chicken in the market is very high because of the combined local and imported supply
00:23according to the Bureau of Animal Industry.
00:26But why is the price still not going down in the markets?
00:30For example, the price of chicken is usually P220 to P230 per kilo in Metro Manila families
00:37while it is not even P100 per kilo in Bulacan.
00:42The local production is too high in demand and the importation is also too high.
00:46That's why the supply is too high.
00:48The only problem is that the price of pork and chicken is not always felt in the retail market
00:53below the farm gate.
00:55That's what needs to be improved.
00:59Travelers and traders are being taught that the retail price is too high from the farm gate.
01:07It is expected that if cheaper imported meat will be imported, the retail price in the market will go down.
01:13But according to the Bureau of Animal Industry, 75% of our chicken demand still comes from local production.
01:23That's why the local industry should really take care of it.
01:27But it is said that the price of chicken is still high in the CCU.
01:30It's a loss.
01:31The price of chicken in the CCU is now P58 per head.
01:33Before, it was P22 per head.
01:35It is 26% of our production cost.
01:37That's why the price of chicken in the CCU is now P110 to P150 per kilo.
01:47The Department of Agriculture said that they are already doing something to help with the expenses of the chickens,
01:52especially in the feeds.
01:54We will look at how we can produce raw materials locally.
01:59And we will minimize the dependence on importation.
02:04So that when people buy from here, it will be cheaper.
02:09Quality is important.
02:11There is also no shortage in the supply of pork even until Christmas, despite the African Swine Fever.
02:17According to the monitoring of the Joint Industry of Agriculture or SINAG,
02:221 million metric tons of imported pork is available from local production
02:26and almost half a million kilos of imported pork is expected to arrive.
02:30In Laloma, it is expected that 1,000 to 1,500 pork lechon will be purchased.
02:37It's not expensive.
02:38As long as you sell quality, people will eat and buy.
02:43If it's cheap, you won't like it.
02:47For GMA Integrated News,
02:50Mark Salazar is your witness.
