HOUSE Ways and Means Chairman Joey Sarte Salceda is urging agriculture officials to consider using tariff revenues from imported corn as feed subsidies for chicken layer growers.
The solon believes that the alleged smuggling of frozen meat is causing domestic farms to reduce total poultry populations, resulting in egg supply levels “not enough to undercut abuses in the trading sector.” Earlier this month, Philippine Egg Board President Irwan Ambal said there was a 20-percent drop in the population of chicken layers in Luzon since January last year, largely due to the avian flu outbreak.SALCEDA said that continued smuggling and undervaluation of chicken imports will cause poultry farms to downsize or close down, threatening the egg supply.
The lawmaker explained that the country doesn’t have the option of resorting to imported eggs if domestic egg prices shoot up.
