00:00 The price of pork has increased in some areas in Metro Manila compared to last week.
00:05 According to the latest price monitoring,
00:07 the Department of Agriculture increased the price of pork per kilo of goat meat to 20 pesos
00:12 from 400 pesos last week.
00:15 The price of goat meat per kilo is now up to 380 pesos.
00:19 According to the group Pork Producers Federation of the Philippines,
00:22 the price of farm gate has increased because farm inputs have also increased.
00:27 The price of farm gate and retail price will also increase to more than 100 pesos
00:31 due to the cost of production.
00:33 According to the group, supply is not a problem because the production is continuous.
00:36 But they are urging the Agriculture Department to reduce production costs
00:41 and reduce the local production of pork due to African Swine Fever.
00:45 We are trying to get more information from the DA.
00:48 Let's listen to him.
00:51 You should look at the supply chain from farm to market.
00:58 How many hands are using the product, the cost of doing business,
01:03 you should understand that.
01:05 The government should look at that.
