THE Philippine Carabao Center (PCC) has strengthened ties with livestock and dairy development agencies and a university in Vietnam following a study mission spearheaded by an agriculture-based non-profit research and training center in the region.

Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (Searca) executive director Dr. Gil Saguiguit Jr., said the study mission aims to enhance its capacity to address the requirements of the carabao sub-sector.
