The Veterinary Services Department has licensed eight companies to import a total of 1,600 tonnes of frozen pork from foreign abattoirs.

The move was to stabilise the price of pork in local markets. Production cost of live pigs will increase only slightly, following the increase in the cost of farm animal feed. The department is expected to meet pig farmers and wholesalers to ensure that the price would not burden consumers.
