THE FOOD UNIT of San Miguel Corp. (SMC) plans to transfer its nationwide hog inventory and facilities to local raisers, amid high retail prices of pork.
In a statement on Monday, SMC’s San Miguel Foods is looking to shift the inventories of its Monterey brand to local hog raisers, and to allow them to supply the demand in their respective regions and improve biosecurity practices against African Swine Fever (ASF).
SMC President and Chief Operating Officer Ramon S. Ang said the company wants to give local piggery businesses an opportunity to flourish amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, and to entice other smallholder farmers to improve the hog industry.
