DA: no shortage of pork, poultry this holiday season

ILOILO City – Western Visayas is assured of sufficient supply of pork and poultry products this Christmas season, according to Department of Agriculture (DA) Regional Executive Director Larry Nacionales.

The region even continues to supply pork products to vulnerable markets such as Cebu and Manila, he noted.

“We have no problem in terms of requirements for the region especially this Christmas season,” Nacionales stressed.

About 82 percent of the region’s production comes from the backyard sector, which remains strong until now.

The commercial sector is also strong but it has its own market outside of Western Visayas, said Nacionales.

Western Visayas sources some of its poultry supply from Cagayan, he said, but the agency does not see any possible shortage in the coming months.

He also assured that there are no changes in prices of these products when compared with last year. (PNA)
