The Department of Agriculture (DA) is studying the possible reimposition of a suggested retail price (SRP) on pork nearly four months after the government lifted the price cap intended to temper soaring meat costs.

Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr. said yesterday that the department would review the matter and adjust profit margins to make them more reasonable and ensure they remain worthwhile for retailers and producers.

“What the DA was planning when prices went out of control was to implement an MSRP (manufacturer's suggested retail price) on pork, especially on imported pork. That is still an option,” Tiu Laurel told lawmakers during the budget hearing of the agency for 2026.
