About the presenter

3. PRESENT SITUATION
of native pig farmers/raisers

4. • Mostly backyard operation and subsisting native
pig production.
• Lack of basic training in animal husbandry.
• No industry standards (inbreeding, chopseuy
breeding)
• Lack of Direct Market Linkage.
• Weak product & market development support
from both the private and government
organizations.

CURRENT AGRICULTURAL SITUATION
SMALL SCALE FARMERS

5. To help solve the problem in the native
swine sector… (Regional Level)

6. What we needed to address current issues:
• STABLE MARKET PRICE
• SUPPORT GROUP
• CONTINUOUS GOVERNMENT SUPPORT
• TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
• PROMOTION
• PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
• INSTITUTIONAL BUYERS
• STRONG POLICY FRAMEWORK

7. • In 2013-2014, the problem was the market & nobody wants
to eat native pork.
• In 2013-2014 the selling price of Native Pigs in the region
3,4, and 5 is around 80-100/kg live weight.
• In 2015, we saw the need to organize and collaborate. We
can not depend on the available market dictating the price.
• In 2015, we fixed the buying price to P150/kg live weight.
• In 2015, PNPONAI was organized.
• In December 2016, all our stocks was sold out!
• In 2015-2018 we gave FREE seminars to native pig raisers
who are interested to become members. (Total 5 Basic
Native Pig Production & 5 Profitable Guide to Basic Native
Swine Production - TOTAL OF 500 BENEFICIARIES)
We saw the need to organize:
Philippine Native Pig Owner Networks Association,
Inc. (PNPONAI) established

8. • On March 2016, we had our first general assembly.
• We saw the success of the group, in March 2016, we had
our first general assembly so…
• To ensure the market for the group, I opened Teofely Cafe
on July 2016 (a farm to table concept restaurant).
• On October 2016, we had our first “promotional event”
showcasing the economic viability and potential of native
pigs thru our “October Blackfeast 2016” event.
• We were featured in Agriculture Magazine in the December
2016 issue.
• In March 2017, we showcased our best seller lechon in the
international culinary event “Madrid Fusion Manila”
representing Region 4A.
• Last October 26, 2018, we had our 2nd October Blackfeast.
• Now, the price for the quality native pork in our region is
P150 lowest up to P200 highest (live weight).
We saw the need to organize:
