Higher prices of meat have caused protein deficiency and contributed to malnutrition among Filipinos, which affected their learning capacities, according to Sen. Cynthia Villar.

MANILA, Philippines —

“It stimulates economic growth, especially in rural areas, and provides livelihood opportunities to more than 2.8 million livestock and poultry farmers,” Villar said. It is estimated that 52 percent of Filipinos’ protein consumption comes from pork and chicken, and this is projected to grow to 58 percent by 2030.

Despite its importance, Villar lamented that the LPD industry faces several challenges that hinder it from realizing its full potential.
