Isabela seeks govt aid to dairy industry

SAN PABLO, Isabela: To further boost and develop the flourishing milk and dairy production in Isabela province, farmers are asking the national government’s support in their bid to make the province the country’s dairy industry capital.

Isabela, which is the second biggest province in the country, possesses a land area suited for bovine pasture and other agricultural development purposes. If given the proper help, they claimed, the province can become the country’s center for products like pastillas, pasteurized milk, flavored milk, yogurt and kesong puti (white cheese).
