The Philippines’ agriculture sector has declined further during the third quarter of the year after almost all sub-sectors, mainly livestock and crops, suffered from a lower output from July to September.
When asked for his reaction to the sector’s poor output performance, Dar only said “we will continue to do much more during the last quarter of the year”. “Rest assured that we will continuously and vigorously implement the Bantay ASF sa Barangay and its twin hog repopulation program, in partnership with the local government units, hog raisers’ groups, and the private sector to revive the country’s swine industry,” Dar said in an earlier statement.
At current prices, the value of livestock production amounted to P79.71 billion or 13.4 percent more this quarter. In contrast with other sub-sectors, poultry production grew by 1.3 percent. It shared 14.6 percent in the total agriculture and fisheries production.
