THANK you for your article about the hog business.
I hope that it will encourage more people to raise pigs, so we can help our country to become an exporter of pork around the world.
It would be nice if our government can distribute a pair of pigs to raise to every family. That would be really a big help for them to start.

The government can help by maintaing centers where families who raised hogs for profit can take their hogs to these centers for a price. Then, the center will take care for its distribution to slaugther houses all over the country, even those food production center that prepare them for international consumption like beacons, sausages, bottled and canned Filipino recepies for Filipino overseas consumption. This project will go in-line with what Estrada has started and GMA tried to continue but too much corruption…the moneys are just being distributed to rural folks who promise to support her party-line members. If those families know they have ready buyers for the pigs they raise, it is easy enough to jump in Filipino balik bayans..to lend them capital.
This is a very good idea. Volunteers can help families learn how to raise pigs food like raising kangkungan and using edible scraps pigs love to eat.

Hog Production? Go to the Batasan Pambansa, you’d see what pigs we got there. Mga Baboy at Binaboy nila ang Pilipinas!!!!

Hog raising scales closely next to rice production. Problems that hinder this industry to boom are so easy to define and within reach of the govt. There must be a govt agency that will facilitate the harvest just like the NFA is to rice and other cereals. The backyard industry simply can’t complete with the large-scale swine raisers. This facility can absorb the the off-season harvest collectively and can store and process for large-scale orders and eventually for export.
Another thing is if the govt microfinancing will reach those less priveledge and underemployed rural folks.
