Description
Sharifuzzaman and co-authors reviewed the Philippine pig industry in a 2025 paper. Pig farming underpins food security and income in the Philippines, yet output falls short of home demand. The review asked what drives production and what would make the sector sustainable.
Searches of databases and official reports from 2018 to 2023 covered production, consumption, technology, and sustainability. Most problems traced back to small-scale farming. Home production and imports moved strongly in opposite ways, while imports linked to higher retail prices and lower consumption. The authors urge gradual growth of commercial farms, steady state guidance, and cooperative farms, noting a rapid shift would leave many farmers stranded.
