01 · The figures
What this series says
Computed from the rows during the build, over live rows only — a withdrawn figure is one this site could not stand behind, and reprinting it as a record high would be republishing it under a different heading.

Freshness budget
90d
A documented override, not the rule. Publication lag is not cadence: the source publishes a period well after it ends, and the reading then ages a whole refresh interval before the next fetch can replace it. 90 days sits above the worst healthy observation and below an outage.
Last read
2026-08-21
The last date somebody actually opened the source behind these rows.
02 · The shape of it
Every published row
Hog farmgate price, commercial (BAI weekly)
PHP/kg liveweight
Reading it: the line breaks wherever the source published no figure, and each of those runs is shaded. The vertical axis is fitted to the data and both bounds are labelled; it does not start at zero, because ₱150 to ₱260 on a zero-based axis is a flat line and a fitted one is the same fact made legible.
03 · What is in it
Rows, blanks and columns
What the blanks are
40 of 108 rows (37%) carry no figure. The source stopped publishing — see gap G-4. The rows stay, dated, so the date it went quiet is itself citable.
Which optional columns it carries
Beyond the period, the value, the source and the access date, which every row in this archive has. Counted from the rows, so a column that stops being filled stops being listed.
-
report_id— 108 rows. BAI's own identifier for the document the row was lifted from. -
first_seen— 108 rows. the date this archive first held a row for that key, set once. -
receipt_id— 108 rows. the content-addressed receipt proving which document it came from. -
note— 40 rows. a sentence about that row in particular.
Freshness
The publisher stopped. Nothing is carried forward past the last reading, and the date it went quiet is itself the finding.
A documented override, not the rule. Publication lag is not cadence: the source publishes a period well after it ends, and the reading then ages a whole refresh interval before the next fetch can replace it. 90 days sits above the worst healthy observation and below an outage.
04 · Where it comes from
Whose survey, read how, out of which document
government agency
BAI — Livestock, Poultry and Feed Ingredients weekly price monitoring
Every row carries the exact page or document it was read from, and the date somebody opened it — not just the agency. Those URLs are in the download, one per row, because "BAI — Livestock, Poultry and Feed Ingredients weekly price monitoring" is not a citation anybody can follow.
How it was retrieved
A table read out of a dated BAI weekly PDF. There is no metadata in a PDF to re-check against, so the document’s own printed headings are the whole guard and they are what the spec names. The table is matched on its heading TEXT and never its number: BAI prints this one as Table 5 in most reports and Table 7 in two of them.
| Field | Value | What guards it |
|---|---|---|
| Category | 19 — BAI's own report category | — |
| Table heading | Weekly Price of Hog per Kilo | Matched as a substring of the line. A renumbered table returns a different commodity at a believable price; a renamed one returns nothing and says so. |
| Column group | FARMGATE | — |
| Column | Commercial | The two header lines together identify the column. Neither alone does. |

Four files, free, with attribution
Every row carries its source, its URL and the date somebody actually opened it, and the attribution line is repeated on every row rather than in a header — because the unit of loss is the row, not the file.
| File | Format | Size | Rows | What is in it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| hog-farmgate-bai-commercial.csv | text/csv | 49 KB | 108 | Published rows only, one row per period. Retracted rows are excluded, so an average taken over this file is correct without filtering. Null values are the token NA. |
| full/hog-farmgate-bai-commercial.csv | text/csv | 51 KB | 108 | Every row this archive has ever held, including withdrawn ones, with a status column and the retraction date and reason. Use this to audit the archive, not to compute on. |
| hog-farmgate-bai-commercial.json | application/json | 59 KB | 108 | The same rows as the full CSV, as JSON, with the coverage summary and the licence. |
| hog-farmgate-bai-commercial.parquet | application/vnd.apache.parquet | 5 KB | 108 | The published rows with types: the numeric columns are doubles and a missing figure is a real null rather than the NA token a CSV has to write. |
Sizes: the real ones, from the same call that produced the bytes the endpoint serves. There is deliberately no Parquet of the full file — the withdrawn rows are the ones nobody may compute on without looking.
Or the whole archive at once
Every series stacked under one schema, typed, with real nulls. It is not this series — kept in its own block so nobody takes the whole archive by mistake.
