CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro – The provincial government has allowed the transport of live hogs from this province to Panay Island which is still under a state of calamity due to the contagious African Swine Fever (ASF).
Gov. Humerlito A. Dolor issued Executive Order No. 57 approving the new hog transport agreement on August 24 with emphasis that traders from Oriental Mindoro should sell their products at not less than the farm gate price of P150 per kilo.
The delivery trucks will just drop or transfer the pigs at Barangay Sambiray in Malay, Aklan and should not proceed to piggery farms and production areas declared or undeclared as ASF-infected areas. Dolor said that Oriental Mindoro still implements a total ban on the entry of live pigs from other provinces either in transit or with a final destination in the province.
Dolor stressed in the meeting that the prevailing price of P150 per kilo or more should be maintained to avoid manipulation of hog prices and protect local farmers.
