DJ Philippines'' Corn Support Price Hike To Cut Feed Output -Exec (ENG)


MANILA (Dow Jones)--A recent increase in the Philippine government's support
price for corn has been exerting pressure on local demand for feed and could
result in a substantial decline in production, a feed milling industry
executive said Thursday.

  Prior to the price support hike, weak feed demand was already limiting corn
purchases by feed millers, said the executive, who is not authorized to speak
to the media and therefore requested anonymity.

  Other industry officials declined to comment on the issue.

  With the increase in support price for corn, demand for feed is expected to
slowdown further, the executive said.

  In fact, local corn is currently offered at PHP11.50 per kilogram at the
farmgate level, compared with a government support price of PHP13/kg.

  "The support price increase hasn't helped anybody, even the local farmers.
How can they increase their selling price when there's no (significant)
demand?" the executive said.

  The local feed milling industry is also under pressure from weak demand for
meat products amid the global economic downturn, the executive said, adding
that production this year could decline substantially from 2008.

  Last year, feed output totaled 6.5 million metric tons from 7.3 million tons
in 2007.

  In May, the government approved an increase in the support price for yellow
corn to PHP13/kg from PHP11.50/kg in order to boost output.

  Corn is a major component in livestock and poultry feed.
