Filipino dairy farmers stand to lose P240 million in income opportunities since they could be eased out in the government’s milk feeding program this year due to Department of Education’s recent policy shifts, an industry group said.
“We also learned that the DepEd had asked the National Dairy Authority [NDA] and the Philippine Carabao Center [PCC] for a certification allowing the sourcing of milk from commercial processors for the SBFP under 2022 GAA. We strongly deplore and object to this sudden and unilateral program implementation schedule for the 2022 GAA [General Appropriations Act],” he said.
Fausto, who is also a director of the Dairy Confederation of the Philippines, explained that local dairy farmers, processors and cooperatives have been part of the SBFP since 2019. “We reiterate that local dairy farmers, cooperatives, and local milk processing plants are capable of supplying the SBFP’s milk needs. With regards to supply, the whole local dairy industry is ready to commit or even exceed its 2021 deliveries,” he said.
