Philippine hog production rose by a mere 1.2% in 2009 (to 1.88 million tonnes), but this is still better than the 1.6% contraction it suffered in 2008.

Hog production grossed roughly PHP 161.15 billion (USD 3.45 billion), an improvement of 5.91% from 2008's PHP 152.15 billion (USD 3.26 billion). The improvement has been attributed to the increase in the number of finishing stocks in the Visayas and Mindanao and the control of PRRS as well as better prices which grew by 4.7%.

Pig production remains the second leading contributor to the entire gross value of Philippine agriculture for the year, accounting for 13.56% of the total.
