The Philippines is stopping pork imports and may affect Brazilian shipments.
The Philippines has suspended pork imports for 60 days to protect local producers. The step may affect Brazil, which exported 271.6 thousand tons of the product to the country between January and September 2026 - almost 25% of its sales abroad during the period.
According to the Philippine Department of Agriculture, local producers accumulated losses of P441.25 million (US$2.43 billion) in the first seven months of the year.
IP In October, the government launched a safeguards investigation at the World Trade Organization (WTO) to assess whether the increase in imports threatens the national industry.
