The government in the Philippines are projecting a shortfall in pork in the second quarter, even as poultry supply is seen to remain ample.

Davinio Catbagan, chief veterinary officer of the Bureau of Animal Industry, said that the country would suffer a shortfall of between five and 10 million kilograms of port until June. This is despite the traditionally low demand for pork in the second quarter of the year.
