"The great task is to increase production to expand into international markets with healthy pork products," said Ariel Bucardo, head of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAGFOR).
Mr Bucardo said that Nicaragua has been declared free of classical swine fever and this is encouraging farmers to export to international markets.
The Sandinista government is spearheading a food production programme to reduce poverty in rural households.
