Provincial Veterinarian Eric Perez said the project dubbed as “Multiplier Production Farm for Native Pigs” intends to develop the production of native pigs by providing the needed stock and technical assistance to the province's identified production farms and stations.

“In order to meet the requirement of the growing market, we need to have a province-wide production of the native pig,” Perez said during the regular session on Monday.

In a press release by the Provincial Information Office, Governor Amado Espino, Jr. and the officials of the agriculture department sealed an agreement on Wednesday at the Provincial Training and Development Center (PTDC) in this town.
