MANILA, Philippines — The National Dairy Authority (NDA) is seeking a P1.5-billion budget for 2027 to build three more stock farms and sustain government interventions that are aimed at developing the local dairy industry.
Although the proposed 2027 budget is lower than this year’s allocation of P2.38 billion, NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius Andaya said the agency was expecting additional funding support from a law aimed at boosting the competitiveness of the livestock sector.
On the sidelines of a European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP) event on Tuesday, Andaya said that about P500 million would be earmarked for existing programs to develop the sector and another P1 billion to construct three stock farms in Sorsogon, Baguio City, and Negros.
The NDA chief said each stock farm would cost approximately P50 million and spans about 50 hectares, capable of housing 150 dairy cattle.
