Pork Product Vendors Struggling to Implement Price Ceiling at Quinta Market in Manila
Pork product vendors in Quinta Market, Manila are still struggling to follow the government’s 60-day price ceiling.
Over the past few weeks, a lot of pork vendors went on pork holiday due to the implementation of the price cap in the National Capital Region. The vendors could not follow the price ceiling due to the soaring prices of pork meat.
