Mayabunder, Oct. 23: The Govt. Piggery Farm, Webi, Mayabunder, North and Middle Andaman, is proactively involved in the breeding and promotion of various pig breeds, such as Yorkshire, Gungroo, and Duroc. The farm is not only engaged in the rearing of these breeds but is also dedicated to supplying piglets to interested and underprivileged farmers at affordable rates.

The Directorate of AH&VS also offered a one-month training program to the farmers, along with a stipend to support their learning. As a result of these efforts, a total of 82 piglets have been distributed to 56 farmers in the North and Middle Andaman regions from April 2023 to September 2023. This initiative contributes to the livelihoods and the development of farmers.
