Marihatag hog raisers avail P3.4 million-worth feed milling equipment
MARIHATAG,
Surigao del Sur, Apr. 13 -- Twenty-six members (26) of the Marihatag Hog
Raisers Association (MAHRA) in Surigao del Sur availed a Php 3.4 Million-worth
of feed milling equipment through the Department of Agriculture (DA) - Caraga
Livestock Program on March 24, 2021.
The
production support includes one unit each of 3-in-1 feed miller, vacuum dryer,
micromixer, soybean extruder, heavy-duty weighing scale, and a shed/storage
building.
Office
of the Provincial Agriculturist (OPAg) chief Marcos Quico reported that the hog
industry in Surigao del Sur produces only 26% of its annual commercial demand.
This, according to DA Regional Technical Director Rebecca R. Atega, poses a
huge potential for Marihatag farmers to step up their production.

established hog supplier in Surigao del Sur. With the milling equipment, they
will be able to cut down a portion of their production cost.
This
year, MAHRA will also obtain 40 heads of hogs worth Php 1,398,000 with feeds
support worth Php 1,016,000 from the Livestock Program. The said support
contributes to the strengthening of the livestock industry in the region.

Sanchez spearheaded the event in coordination with OPAg chief Quico and Marihatag Mayor Justin Marc Pelenio, and Municipal Agriculturist Bernardino attended the said event.
