Philippines: Livestock and Poultry Update

FAS Manila expects Philippine pork production to decline by approximately 10 percent in 2020, as African Swine Fever continues to spread throughout the country. Imports of pork are likely to increase to augment the drop in domestic production and as demand recovers from the decline seen at the end of 2019. Chicken production in 2020, on the other hand, is expected to grow, with broiler raisers ramping up production to offset the drop in hog production. Cattle production is only seen to increase marginally in 2020, even as farm gate prices rise sharply, due to limited pastureland and a lack of new breeding animals. The impact of COVID-19 in the Philippines is likely to be in delayed shipments and supply disruptions.
