Dairy Industry Profile

The National Dairy Authority (NDA) reported that the dairy sub-sector, which includes carabao/buffalo, dairy cattle and dairy goat, contributed 16.8% to the total Philippine agricultural value. In 2021, PSA reported the total dairy production of 26.3 thousand MT which is grossed at current prices amounting to Php 1.408 billion, as the dairy sub-sector recorded an uptrend in gross earning with 16.7% growth. The increases in value were 22.1%, 18.5%, and 14.6% for buffalo, cattle, and goat, respectively. However, the Philippines only produces 1% of its 2.5 billion liter milk demand, as reported by NSA, which leads the country to import 99% of the dairy products.

The Philippines has four main types of dairy farms which are individual smallholder producers, smallholder cooperatives, commercial farms, and government farms (i.e. Philippine Carabao Center and State Universities). Smallholder farmers with an average of 2-4 heads mainly comprise the dairy industry in the country. There are dual-purpose breeds, which are used for both dairy and meat production, and there are improved dairy breed animals which are mainly used for dairy production. Milk is the most important product from dairy farming. Some farmers sell the milk from their farms to cooperatives or local milk processors, which then produce various dairy products such as pasteurized fresh milk, flavored milk, cheeses, ice cream, fermented milk, and confectioneries.

Problems in the Industry

There is not enough local dairy supply to meet the local demand. Hence, the Philippines needs to increase the dairy industry’s competitiveness for the country to rely less on imports, and minimize the current trade deficit. The milk production is highly affected by poor feed and management practices, high production costs and lack of adequate dairy infrastructure. Other problems faced by the industry are water scarcity, poor mechanization, low reproductive efficiency, and the high wastage due to the high perishability of milk.

However, the country still imports Hvestock products worth USD3 to USD4 billion a year. Hence, there is a need to strengthen the nation’ s livestock industry. In response thereto, this Representation seeks to create the Philippine Livestock and Poultry Authority (PLPA) by merging the Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI), the Philippine Carabao Center (PCC), and the National Dairy Authority (NDA). The PLPA is tasked to formulate a ten-year roadmap for Livestock, Poultry, and Dairy Value Chain Development. Based on this roadmap, the Philippine Livestock and Poultry Development Authority Advisory Board (PLPAAB) win then oversee and provide policy guidance on the coordinated implementation of the programs funded by the Livestock, Poultry, Dairy, and Related Feeds Competitiveness Enhancement Funds.

Bill	House Bill No. 3777	2022	19th	An Act To Develop, Protect, And Promote The Livestock, Poultry, And Dairy Industries And Their Value Chain, To Provide For A Livestock, Poultry, And Dairy Competitiveness Enhancement Fund, And For Other Purposes	The latest Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey has reported that hunger rose from 11.8% to 12.2% of Filipino families. In other words, an estimated 3.1 million people have experienced involuntary hunger – “being hungry and not having anything to eat” at least once in the past three months. Due to global economic challenges, the country faces an increased cost of meat, vegetables, and rice prices. The price of rice are expected to soar given that major rice exporters such as Vietnam and India have implemented export restrictions due to the continuing supply chain disruptions caused by global conflicts like that of Russia-Ukraine. These economic challenges are reflected on the inflationary effects on food and basic commodities which can cause further poverty in the Philippines. It is thus imperative that the State pursue policies to ease the burden of inflation on vulnerable communities. One of the reforms that should be considered is to develop, protect, and promote the self-sufficiency of many agricultural commodities, especially the livestock, poultry, and dairy sectors. For decades, the livestock, poultry, and dairy sectors have received limited attention and developmental assistance from the government. The country has relied mostly on international imports to provide for the local livestock, poultry, and dairy demand despite our very own local industries having the capacity to be self-sufficient if only supported and incentivized.	This bill seeks to empower and capacitate the livestock, poultry, and dairy industries to be key production growth drivers in the economy. In doing so, we significantly strengthen the agriculture industry, while ensuring food security and providing employment opportunities especially in rural areas. This bill also serves as a counterpart legislation for Senate Bill No. 119 filed by Senator Cynthia Villar.	https://docs.congress.hrep.online/legisdocs/basic_19/HB03777.pdf	Dairy	Null	Jeff	11/22/2024	C:\Users\trist\Documents\Formatting\Output\Dairy_2024-11-22_processed.xlsx
