The agriculture department is encouraging Filipinos, especially those in the cities, to raise rabbits for food consumption and boost their income.
The Department of Agriculture issued Memorandum Circular 6 series of 2023 that outlined the guidelines on rabbit raising in urban and peri-urban areas.
“Rabbit raising for meat is an alternative venture as a supplementary source of income, especially for farmers or households in urban and peri-urban areas. Rabbit meat has high protein content, iron, and minerals, and is low in cholesterol,” Senior Agriculture Secretary Domingo F. Panganiban said in MC 6 published recently.
In implementing the project, BAI will partner with concerned DA-Regional Field Offices and local government units . “The source of funds for the project shall be through the General Appropriations of the NUPAP following the disbursement rules set by the Department of Budget and Management [DBM] and guided by the government rules and regulations,” the document read.
