Farmers called for increased imports of the raw materials used in animal feed, citing the need to provide relief to growers suffering from rising input prices in the wake of the Russia-Ukraine war and the logistics disruptions caused by the pandemic.
“The priority should be the ease of importing ingredients, not finished products. we can keep the livelihoods here and have the by-products. As of the moment, I believe there is no need to import chicken. Too much importing will discourage poultry growers who are… taking on the extra challenges due to the Russia-Ukraine war and other global disruptions,” Feedmix Specialist II, Inc. Vice-President Norberto O. Chingcuanco said in a Viber message.
The price of whole chicken in Metro Manila markets increased by P25 from a month earlier to P200 per kilogram in June, according to the Department of Agriculture . Corn prices have risen to P22-P23 per kilogram from P14-P16 per kilogram in 2021, according to Mr. Inciong.“This has impacted the performance of the broiler industry, whether terminal broiler farms or breeders. Right now, the day-old chicks that used to cost P28-P30 per kilogram now cost P38 pesos,” he said.
Fast food chains like Jollibee and McDonald’s have reported supply problems, particularly in procuring chicken that passes their quality standards.In order to augment supply and solve the shortage for the long term, Mr. Inciong said that the government must look into policy reforms while consulting producers.
President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr., who is also the Agriculture Secretary, said that the government might consider additional imports of chicken and pork to meet the growing demand and temper rising prices.
