The Vanuatu Livestock Department has set up a piggery breeding center in Luganville.
The piggery can accommodate six sows, two boars and 60 piglets.
According to a senior officer in the department, Stevenson Boe, the development is part of a programme to distribute improved breeds to small holders and medium holder farmers in the north.
The initiative is made possible with the support from the USAID with the management of the SPC.
