Philippines: Livestock and Products Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   RP2024-0027
FAS Manila forecasts 2025 beef/carabeef and pork imports at 226,000 and 510,000 metric tons carcass weight equivalent, respectively. Strong economic growth, moderating inflation, and forecast population increases support higher meat imports in 2025. FAS-Manila forecasts beef and carabeef production essentially flat in 2025 as limited land area and the cost of inputs constrain any growth. 2025 pork production is forecast at 1.06 million metric tons carcass weight equivalent, a slight rebound from estimated production in 2024. While African swine fever remains present in the Philippines, the animal disease situation should improve in 2025 leading to increased pork production.
