Matapos ang “Rice For All” program, pinag-aaralan din daw ng Agriculture Department na magkaroon ng “Pork For All” program lalo’t mahal pa rin ito. Pero tulad din ng murang bigas, sa mga limitadong tindahan lang ‘yan at hindi sa lahat.

00:00After the Rice For All program, the Agriculture Department is also studying
00:05to have a Pork For All program.
00:08It's still expensive, but just like cheap rice,
00:12it's only available in limited stores and not in all of them.
00:16Darlene Kai got it right.
00:21Because the price of pork is around Php 380 per kilo and Php 420 for pork belly,
00:27Teresita's family doesn't get pork once a week or sometimes.
00:31There's nothing we can do but save money.
00:34It's good that we have a budget.
00:36Some prices are even more expensive
00:38in the Pinacolin Monitoring of the Agriculture Department in Metro Manila.
00:42Even the vendors are getting high blood pressure.
00:44Before, we were able to cover three to four pigs.
00:46Now, we can't even cover one pig.
00:49It's too much. It's expensive.
00:52Sometimes, we can't even buy soap.
00:54A few days ago, the possible coverage of the maximum suggested retail price
00:59or MSRP for pork belly was announced by some agriculture groups.
01:03I think MSRP needs to be declared
01:07because the price of pork belly is between Php 240 to Php 150.
01:15But the retail price went up to Php 400.
01:21So, the price needs to be adjusted.
01:26The effect of the supply of African Swine Fever in 2024 is real.
01:32That's the effect of the ASF last year.
01:36So, the lost patiners or the ones who are at the time of death,
01:43the child is around five to six months old.
01:47Our January to May is affected.
01:51But the supply of pork belly is still enough due to the importation or importation.
01:54So, there's no reason for the price of pork belly to go up to Php 400.
01:59That's why the Agriculture Department will look into it if there are any issues.
02:03The DA has yet to say where the high price of pork belly is going to be placed.
02:08I cannot say where the problems are.
02:11But there is a study and there will be an additional consultation this week
02:16so that everyone will know what they saw and what the issue is.
02:20And then, there will be an MSRP.
02:23The possibility of having a pork for all program is also being studied,
02:27just like what was done with rice,
02:28where the DA will directly buy the supply from importers and traders
02:32to sell at a cheaper price,
02:34but still limited to Kadiwa Outlets and a few villages.
02:38Meanwhile, onions are also expensive, Php 220 per kilo in the Litex market.
02:43And it's even more expensive than the prices monitored by the Agriculture Department this Saturday.
02:48But expect it to go down as soon as the import of imported onions continues.
02:54For GMA Integrated News, Darlene Cai, NK, 24 Hours.
