Philippines: Negros Occidental distributes ASF recovery aid

PHP10 million has been allocated to assist 5,000 affected hog raisers across the province.

The Negros Occidental provincial government continues to distribute financial assistance to affected swine raisers amid recovery efforts after losing some 18,000 hogs to African swine fever (ASF) and other transboundary hog diseases last year.

The provincial government has allocated PHP10 million to provide assistance of PHP2,000 each to 5,000 affected hog raisers across the province. In E.B. Magalona, one of the worst-hit local government units, an initial 99 hog raisers received a total of PHP198,000.

Negros Occidental still bans the entry of pork and pork products from ASF-hit areas, among these the highly-urbanized Bacolod City. Municipal Agriculturist Efren Garcia Jr. said that hog raisers in E.B. Magalona are gradually returning to swine production and this has stabilized the price of pork in the municipality.
