00:58This is in consideration of the effect of African Swine Fever on the pork industry.

01:05The seller, Lilet Panuringan, is not in favor of the implementation of MSRP.
01:09No, because for us, it's too early, it's too high.
01:14Because the buyers, of course, are looking for the lowest price.
01:18What we're doing is, we're only getting a small amount of pork,
01:23so that at least, somehow, we can get rid of it.
01:26Mami Mili is in favor of Lilya Banaag,
01:28because she says the budget for pork is too high.
