00:00The supply is sufficient, but the price of meat continues to rise, such as pork.
00:09Lechon is expected to rise by more than Php 1,000.
00:14This is Mark Salazar's Hating Balitang.
00:20The market is full of chicken and pork because of the combined local and imported supply,
00:26according to the Bureau of Animal Industry.
00:29But why is the price still not going down in the market?
00:33For example, for chicken, the price is usually Php 220 to Php 230 per kilo
00:38in the Metro Manila families,
00:40while there is no Php 100 per kilo that was taken from Bulacan.
00:44The local production is too much in demand,
00:47and the importation is also too much, the supply is too much.
00:50The only challenge is that the price of meat is not always felt in the retail market below the farm gate.
00:58That is what the farmers in Soleranin need.
01:02Since 2000, the volume of our imports has been increasing, but the price is also increasing.
01:07Because the importers also want to earn a lot.
01:10Travelers and traders are being taught
01:13that the retail price will go down from the farm gate to a very high level.
01:18It is expected that if cheaper imported meat enters, the retail price will go down in the market.
01:24However, according to the Bureau of Animal Industry,
01:2975% of our chicken demand still comes from local production.
01:34That is why the local industry should really take care of it.
01:38But they say that the price of chicken is still too high.
01:42The price of chicken is now Php 58 per kilo.
01:44Before, it was only Php 22.
01:46That is 26% of our production cost.
01:49That is why we are aiming for a price of Php 100 to Php 150 per kilo.
01:54The Department of Agriculture said that they are already doing something
01:58to help with the expenses of the chickens, especially in the feeds.
02:02We are looking for ways to produce raw materials locally.
02:07We will minimize the dependence on importation.
02:12So that when people buy from here, they will benefit.
02:15If people buy from here, it will be cheaper.
02:17It will be of higher quality.
02:19There is also no limit to the supply of pork meat
02:22even until Christmas, despite the African Swine Fever.
02:25According to the monitoring of the Department of Agriculture or SINAG,
02:301 million metric tons are available from local production
02:34and almost half a million kilos of imported pork will arrive.
02:39In Laloma, it is expected that 1,000 to 1,500 whole lechon will be purchased.
02:45It is not expensive.
02:47As long as you sell quality, people will eat and buy.
02:51If it is cheap, you won't like it.
02:55But even though the price of lechon is increasing,
02:58those who can afford to prepare lechon for Christmas and New Year will not stop.
03:04This is Php 10,000.
03:06That will be Php 12,000.
03:07That will be Php 12,000.
03:08That will be Php 7,000.
03:10That will be Php 8,500.
03:11This will be Php 6,000.
03:14Php 31,000.
03:15Php 600 of pork?
03:17Yes.
03:18That will be Php 31,000.
03:19That will be Php 20,000.
03:21Php 20,000 of pork?
03:23Yes, that will be Php 20,000.
