Hog raisers want to speed up processing of permits

CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro: To avoid losing money, hog raisers here are asking the provincial government and regulating bodies to expedite the processing of necessary permits that would allow them to ship their pigs outside the island.

They said that the longer their pigs stay in the farms tagged as pink or yellow zones, the higher the chances that the pigs will get infected by the African swine fever.
