Pig production in the Philippines posted gains of 1.64% in the first nine months of 2011, a report by the Bureau of Agricultural Statistics (BAS) showed.
Pig production was estimated at 180,360 tonnes for the period, slightly higher than last year’s 178,440 tonnes. The BAS attributed the growth to improved prices which encouraged producers to dispose their pigs.
