THE Department of Agriculture (DA) is set to implement the government’s P600-million swine repopulation program, focusing initially on areas previously affected by the African swine fever (ASF) that are no longer in quarantine and now classified as “pink” and “yellow” zones.
Agriculture Secretary William Dar in a statement expressed relief as the ASF incidence is now at its lowest level since August 2020.
