Pork supply stable, says group, but prices up in some wet markets

“Unprecedented ang laman ng mga bodega. Hindi bumababa, palaki pa ng palaki ang mga laman ng cold storages, beyond their capacity,” So said.

Farmers group Samahang Industriya ng Agrikultura on Wednesday said there is enough supply of pork for the holiday season even as prices went up in several wet markets in Metro Manila.

“Unprecedented ang laman ng mga bodega. Hindi bumababa, palaki pa ng palaki ang mga laman ng cold storages, beyond their capacity,” So said. “Importers and traders continue to dominate the retail market and rake in profits; at the expense of the producers, consumers, and the foregone revenues ng government. Masaya lang ang pasko para sa importers at traders,” he added.

At the Commonwealth Market, pork meats are being sold at P270 per kilo while liempo parts are priced at P300.
