Gregorio San Diego, president of the United Broiler Raisers Association (UBRA) said that government’s announcement of the importation of 5,000 metric tons (MT) has resulted in the steady drop in farmgate price of chicken.

The Confederation of Sugar Producers Association (Confed), the country’s biggest sugar farmers organization, said such a move undermines the local market with NFA operating on its own as a major trader, selling sugar to other traders even when prices are stable while underselling the market in order to move inventory.
