SunStar NEGROS. Slaughter hogs from Negros Occidental being loaded for shipment to Batangas Port. (Contributed photo) + May 03, 2021 BEING able to maintain its status as African Swine Fever (ASF)-free province, Negros Occidental continues to expand its market for hogs to Luzon, now directly to Batangas. Provincial Veterinarian Renante Decena said the province is one of the most trusted and major suppliers of pigs for slaughter in Luzon. Decena said the province has been supplying fattened hogs to Luzon through a port in Manila, but recently, the shipment was made directly through Batangas. “The intended markets are the Provinces of Batangas, Cavite and Laguna,” he said, adding that the travel time from Bredco Port in Bacolod City to Batangas is shorter.
