Philippines: Hog producers seek zero tariffs on feed inputs


Hog producers are seeking government assistance in the form of zero tariffs on feed ingredients and farm equipment and establishment of a diagnostic laboratory to help them recover from the adverse impact of the diseases that ravaged their farms last year. Gabriel Uy, chairman of the National Federation of Hog Farmers Inc., said at a news briefing that the industry had filed the necessary petition in March but the Tariff Commission had yet to act on it. Feeds account for 65-70 percent of the industry's cost, which has gone up to P$80 a kilo from P$69 early this year. Last year, about 30 percent of the country's backyard swine farms were wiped out and more than 20 percent of commercial pig farms were adversely affected by swine diseases, including a strain of the porcine reproduction and respiratory syndrome. About 60,000 out of the 300,000 sows in Central Luzon had died due to disease.
