Philippines aids Agusan Norte hog raisers recovering from ASF

The organization will work to increase the number of pigs to meet the demand for pork in the local market.

The Department of Agriculture in the Caraga Region (DA-13) handed over a PHP10 million project to a group of hog raisers in Agusan del Norte province. The assistance under the agency’s Integrated National Swine Production Initiatives for Recovery and Expansion (INSPIRE) benefited the Barangay Agong-ong Active Farmers Association Inc. (BAAFAI) in Buenavista town.

The project comprised a bio-secured facility with a perimeter fence, biogas, shower room, and feed storage. The group also received 300 heads of weanlings, feeds, and other zoological supplies under the INSPIRE program.

The organization will work to increase the number of pigs to meet the demand for pork in the local market. The INSPIRE project released to BAAFAI is the third batch for the region.
