 EXPLANATORY NOTES

This Swine Situation Report presents the swine industry in terms of

volume of production, inventory by farm type, and average farmgate
prices. This report is prepared to serve as a ready reference for the
various clients and stakeholders in the agriculture sector of the Philippine
Statistics Authority (PSA). It is released quarterly, that is, every February,
May, August, and November.

Concepts and Definitions

Volume of production refers to the number of tended/raised hogs

disposed for slaughter including animals shipped-out for slaughter. This is
expressed in metric tons, liveweight.

Inventory refers to the actual number of swine present in the farm as of

a specific reference date.

Farmgate price refers to the price received by raisers for their produce at
the location of farm. Thus, the marketing costs, such as the transport and
other marketing costs (if any) incurred in selling the produce, are not
included in the farmgate prices. The 2020 to 2021 farmgate prices
included in this special release were sourced from the Price Statistics
Division (PSD), while the 2022 farmgate prices were based on the surveys
of Livestock and Poultry Statistics Division (LPSD).
