Hog production decline seen in Central Visayas

CEBU CITY — An officer of the Department of Agriculture in Central Visayas said the region might face challenges in hog production, potentially affecting Cebu's lechon industry, once the enforcement of the Negros Island Region is formalized.Gerry Avila, chief of the Field Operations Division of DA-7, told The Manila Times that under NIR, hog production in the region is expected to decline.

'Ang laki ng mga supply dito sa Cebu na for lechon are coming from Negros Oriental, so that could be a big reduction when it comes to production for Region 7 because they are now NIR ,' Avila said.Last year, Negros Oriental Gov. Manuel 'Chaco' Sagarbarria said in an interview during the Regional Association of Development Information Officers 7 that their hogs are at least P50 cheaper than those in Cebu.
