Current Status of the Hog Industry in Cebu Province

The hog industry in Cebu Province is a major contributor to the local economy, with an estimated 165,000 heads raised as of 2022. This makes it the second-largest hog-producing province in the Visayas region, following Negros Occidental.

Here’s a summary of the current situation:

Positives:

  • Significant production: Cebu ranks second in the Visayas region in terms of hog production, highlighting its importance to the regional food supply.
  • Both backyard and commercial: Similar to Siquijor, the industry caters to both small-scale and large-scale producers, offering diverse opportunities.
  • Government support: The Department of Agriculture (DA) and other agencies provide support to the industry through programs like the Integrated National Swine Improvement Program (INSIP) and the Livestock Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (LCEF).
  • Modernization: Some farms in Cebu are adopting modern technologies and practices, which can improve efficiency and productivity. Opens in a new window www.pna.gov.ph modern hog farm in Cebu

Challenges:

  • Disease outbreaks: African swine fever (ASF) remains a major threat to the industry, causing significant losses to farmers.
  • High feed costs: Rising feed costs can significantly impact profitability, especially for small-scale farmers.
  • Limited access to markets: Some farmers face challenges in accessing stable markets for their pork products.
  • Lack of skilled labor: The industry requires skilled workers for breeding, animal care, and other essential tasks.

Recent developments:

  • Cebu Swine Producers Association (CESPA): This organization represents hog farmers in Cebu and advocates for their interests.
  • ASF-free zones: The DA is working to establish ASF-free zones in Cebu to protect the industry from the disease.
  • Investment in breeding: There are ongoing efforts to improve the quality of breeding stock in Cebu.

Overall, the hog industry in Cebu is facing challenges but also presents potential for growth. Government support, industry collaboration, and continuous modernization efforts are crucial for the industry’s success.
