                    [Summary] => Corn prices are expected to go up further and hit  the resistance level of P13 per kilo in the coming weeks due to tight supply.


Philippine Maize Federation Inc. (Philmaize) president Roderico Bioco said  the shortfall is estimated at 700,000 to one million metric tons (MT), the result of poor harvest brought about by unfavorable weather last year.


Prices of corn  reached a recent high of  P12.80 per kilo in Luzon, and about P10.50 per kilo in Mindanao.

NFA Administrator Arthur T. Yap  said the shipment  should come in before June which is the start of the lean season for corn. 


The  importation aims  to bring down feed costs of  local livestock and poultry raisers, and subsequently, bring down meat prices, especially pork. Corn prices, on the other hand, are expected to hold firm.

This was the observation of Rod Bioco, president of the Philippine Maize Federation Inc. (Philmaize) who reported that end users are now scrambling to stock up on the commodity while prices are soft as a result of a bumper crop.

The bidding for the corn importation meant to  cushion the impact of the crop damage in Cagayan Valley wrought by typhoon Harurot last July failed, allowing prices to remain firm.

 The Philippine Maize Federation Inc. (Philmaize) urged the Department of Agriculture (DA) to deny the request of the Philippine Association of Feedmillers Inc. and livestock and poultry growers, saying this will hurt local farmers who are still reeling from losses due to super typhoon Harurot.

Philippine Maize Federation Inc. (PMFI) Roderico R. Bioco said redi-recting the money to bankroll projects under the GMA Corn Program will help corn farmers recover from the slump in corn prices last year which resulted with the arrival of about 209,000 metric tons (MT) of corn from the US.

                    [Summary] => A corn shortage  looms as supply has been tightening due to the two failed biddings for the importation of  150,000 metric tons (MT) of corn by  the National Food Authority (NFA). 


The bidding for the corn importation meant to  cushion the impact of the crop damage in Cagayan Valley wrought by typhoon Harurot last July failed, allowing prices to remain firm.

                    [Summary] => Corn farmers have expressed opposition to a request by feedmillers, livestock and poultry groups to import 400,000 metric tons (MT) of corn at zero-tariff.


 The Philippine Maize Federation Inc. (Philmaize) urged the Department of Agriculture (DA) to deny the request of the Philippine Association of Feedmillers Inc. and livestock and poultry growers, saying this will hurt local farmers who are still reeling from losses due to super typhoon Harurot.
