[Title] => Hog raisers ask DA to allow duty-free corn importation
[Summary] => The country’s hog raisers and feedmillers are asking the Department of Agriculture (DA) to allow them to import 300,000 metric tons (MT) of duty-free corn this year.
The proposed imports should partially address the Bureau of Agricultural Statistics’ (BAS) projected corn production shortfall of 2.071 million MT for this year, which is higher than last year’s deficit of 1.405 million MT.
In yesterday’s meeting with DA officials, the Philippine Association of Feedmillers Inc. (PAFMI) said the corn imports should come in two tranches.

[Summary] => The country’s corn output is projected to increase by at least six percent in the first quarter of 2004 as current prices are encouraging farmers to expand their hectarage.
