Gov. Pamela Baricuatro has lifted the ban on the entry of hogs and livestock into Cebu to lower pork prices. The move aims to support economic recovery and revitalize the local livestock and food industries. The ban was initially imposed by her predecessor, Gwen Garcia, to prevent the spread of African Swine Fever (ASF).
The decision to lift the ban was made after consultations with relevant authorities. While the restrictions have been eased, measures to protect the hog industry will remain in place. Livestock carriers must adhere to biosecurity protocols, including thorough disinfection of vehicles.
Movements of live animals must be accompanied by a valid Veterinary Health Certificate. Baricuatro's executive orders aim to facilitate the movement of livestock while ensuring regulatory compliance and biosecurity measures.
