Headline liveweight farmgate price
The curated quarterly figure this site quotes as its headline price, assembled by hand from PSA releases and trade reporting before the machine-retrieved series below existed. It also carries this archive's retraction record: rows the site once published, could not source, and withdrew in the July 2026 audit.

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Computed from the rows during the build, over live rows only — a withdrawn figure is one this site could not stand behind, and reprinting it as a record high would be republishing it under a different heading.

Nobody publishes this on a schedule, so a cadence budget would be measuring a promise nobody made. 184 days is how long one person's reading is treated as good for.

02 · The shape of it
Every published row
Headline liveweight farmgate price
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
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.
-
note— 12 rows. a sentence about that row in particular. -
derivation— 5 rows. the arithmetic that produced the figure, recomputed on every run. -
rangeLow— 2 rows. the low end of a published range; `value` is then the midpoint. -
rangeHigh— 2 rows. the high end of that range.
Freshness
Nobody publishes this on a schedule. A person reads it, and the reading is treated as good for 184 days — a statement about the reader rather than about the world.

8 rows this site could not stand behind
Figures this site once published and then could not stand behind. They are kept in the archive rather than deleted, because the record that we got something wrong is worth more than a tidy file — but the wrong numbers are deliberately not reprinted here. They are in the audit download below, flagged, where nobody will mistake one for a current price.
2025-03-31 withdrawn 2026-07-12
Cited a bare domain root, not an article. PSA's official monthlies for Q1 2025 (203.74 / 212.27 / 213.48) give a quarterly mean of 209.83, not 213. Superseded by the derived row below.
2025-06-30 withdrawn 2026-07-12
Contradicted by PSA's own monthlies for Q2 2025 (210.32 / 210.89 / 214.52), whose mean is 211.91. The stored 198 understates the quarter by ~14 PHP/kg and invents a mid-2025 decline that did not happen. Superseded by the derived row below.
2025-12-31 withdrawn 2026-07-12
Cited a bare domain root. No national trough of 165 exists: PSA's Q4 2025 average is 182.83 and the worst single month was 177.78 (November). The 150-180 range reported when DA set the floor describes distressed local selling, not the national average, and must not be charted as one. Superseded by the official row below.
2026-01-31 withdrawn 2026-07-12
Invented. No source, no URL. PSA's official January 2026 national farmgate is 172.56 — the stored value overstates it by 22.44 PHP/kg and reverses the direction of travel.
2026-02-28 withdrawn 2026-07-12
Invented. No source, no URL. PSA's official February 2026 national farmgate is 176.31.
2026-03-31 withdrawn 2026-07-12
Invented. No source, no URL. PSA's official March 2026 national farmgate is 179.23.
2026-04-02 withdrawn 2026-07-12
Cited a bare domain root. The 2 Apr 2026 BusinessMirror article reports a RETAIL price surge and a 120/kg trader margin; it does not report a 218/kg farmgate. eFeedLink's trade quotes for the weeks either side are 181-193/kg liveweight. No source supports 218.
2026-05-20 withdrawn 2026-07-12
Invented. No source, no URL. SINAG told BusinessWorld on 21 May 2026 — the day after this row claims 218 — that live hogs had averaged only 180-190/kg over the preceding seven months.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| prices.csv | text/csv | 6 KB | 12 | 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/prices.csv | text/csv | 10 KB | 20 | 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. |
| prices.json | application/json | 11 KB | 20 | The same rows as the full CSV, as JSON, with the coverage summary and the licence. |
| prices.parquet | application/vnd.apache.parquet | 4 KB | 12 | 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.
