Philippines: Livestock and Products Annual

FAS Manila forecasts pork production in 2026 at 980 thousand metric tons (TMT) carcass weight equivalent (CWE), a rebound from the estimated production in 2025. While the resurgence in African Swine Fever during the second half of 2024 continues to dampen production, expanded coverage of the government-controlled vaccine roll out, strengthened biosecurity measures, and adoption of improved technologies will facilitate production growth in 2026. The beef and carabeef production in 2026 is forecast virtually unchanged from 2025 at 182 TMT CWE as herd numbers have not increased despite increased imports of cattle genetics and live animals. Additionally, pork and beef imports in 2026 are forecast to increase, driven by higher demand, robust economic growth, and the sustained increase in population.
