00:00 Aside from the billions of pesos of fish caught in the river,

00:04 El Nino also affected the pigs.

00:06 How about the supply and price?

00:09 Bernadette Reyes is on the scene.

00:11 This barren land is one of the oldest fishing grounds that dried up due to the high temperature.

00:21 This is just one of the many effects of El Nino in the Bohol Basin.

00:24 Some of the reefs also dried up and the water from some rivers and even the Pilar Dam is decreasing.

00:29 In total, 36 towns in the province were affected by the flood

00:34 due to the state of calamity that the province is about to declare.

00:38 The damage caused by El Nino is severe in the agriculture sector.

00:42 In the whole country, the rice production reached 4.6 billion pesos,

00:47 3.7 billion pesos in corn,

00:49 1.6 billion pesos in high-value crops,

00:52 while 10.47 billion pesos in livestock and poultry.

00:56 According to the National Federation of Hog Farmers, Inc.,

00:59 aside from the pigs that are dying,

01:01 one of the common effects of the high temperature in pigs is their undergrowth.

01:07 Instead of being able to grow them to 115 to 120 kilos in live weight,

01:13 now it's like 90 to 100 kilos.

01:16 It's a blessing.

01:18 It's very difficult because the feeds are still expensive.

01:22 So of course, the chances are that the farmers, even if the pigs are small,

01:25 when they reach the right age, they will also produce.

01:28 The small ones are already able to earn money because there's no market.

01:34 Because of the hot weather, the price of pigs' food is also affected,

01:39 like corn, where the price of corn has reached 3.7 billion pesos.

01:44 The price of corn will increase if we don't have enough supply.

01:48 The Department of Agriculture congratulated the effects of El Nino on hog raisers.

01:53 Right now, we're importing 40% of the corn.

01:56 We want to replace it

01:59 so that we can increase the production of raw materials that we don't import.

02:04 In the last price monitoring of the Department of Agriculture,

02:07 the price of hogs increased by 20 pesos per kilo in some families in Metro Manila.

02:12 Here in Mega Q Mart in Quezon City,

02:14 the price of pigs increased from 330 to 400 pesos per kilo.

02:19 On the other hand, El Nino's hog raisers,

02:21 the DA assured that the supply of pigs is enough.

02:24 The retail price of pigs is also far from the farm gate price.

02:27 Sometimes, the difference is 50 to 100 pesos.

02:32 There are traders who take advantage.

02:35 So we will set our target to places that are really low

02:40 so that they won't take advantage of our consumers.

02:45 For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, Nakatuto, 24 Hours.
