For comparison, the Philippines had 9.01 million pigs at the end of June 2025. This means the national herd declined by around 80,000 head over the year.
Smallhold farms account for the largest share of the pig population, holding 79.3% of the total.
Commercial farms account for a further 19%, while semi-commercial farms represent 1.7%.
At regional level, Calabarzon had the largest pig population, with 1.22 million head.
Central Luzon ranked second with 1.07 million head, followed by the Bicol Region with 750,000 head.
Together, these three regions account for 34.2% of the Philippines’ total pig population.
Thus, the structure of the Philippine pig sector remains predominantly small-scale, while the country’s overall pig population is showing a moderate decline.
