A joint price monitoring is being conducted to check the compliance on the set price ceiling for pork products in a community market, here in the city.

 

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – The Department of Agriculture – Regional Field Office 10 (DA-RFO 10) thru its Agribusiness Marketing and Assistance Division (AMAD) with the City Price Coordinating Council of Cagayan de Oro and the Department of Trade and Industry 10 led the price monitoring of pork on Friday, February 26.

Random price monitoring of community markets or ‘talipapa’ and a major market in the city were conducted if they were able to follow the price ceiling set by DA-RFO 10.

The result of the price monitoring will be endorsed to DA-10 management, subject for review of the Technical Working Group and the Bantay Presyo task force.

Lately, CdeO meat retail vendors appealed for adjustment of the price ceiling of liveweight hogs at P165 per kilo and the pork’s price ceiling to gain enough profit.

Effective February 11, 2021, DA-10 issued the price ceiling of pork products for major public markets and community markets in the city: prime cuts at P265 per kilo; other parts at P165 per kilo and entrails at P50 per kilo.#
