LUBA, Abra (PIA) -- The Department of Agriculture Regional Field Office (DA-RFO) Cordillera led the distribution of 102 heads of piglets to 34 farmers of barangay Lul-luno, in this town.
Each of the farmer-beneficiaries received three heads of upgraded weaners and a sack of booster feeds.
The farmers are members of Upper Lul-luno Farmers Association and listed as beneficiaries of the Sustainable Inclusive Peace and Transformation (SIPAT) program of the Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace Reconciliation and Unity (OPAPRU).
Abra Agriculture Program Coordinating Office -Abra Head Dr. Rosemarie Tesoro encouraged the beneficiaries to breed the pigs so that they can soon raise income thru swine raising.
“This distribution is one of the programs of our government that will boost the livelihood in far flung barangays and I hope that with this support, you’ll be able to breed pigs for the availability of meat supplies in your barangay,” Tesoro said.
She explained that farmers can redeem their expenses in raising the three animals with a single pig while the other two pigs will be their profit.
