Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles, in a virtul presser, said this is one of the initiatives being considered to help hog farmers increase supplies.

"One proposal being studied is an insurance subsidy of 50 percent for commercial hog raisers that will utilize the quick response fund under the quick response fund of the Department of Agriculture," he said.
