Cargill Philippines to host Animal Nutrition Summit and advance Filipino hog industry
Cargill is hosting the Animal Nutrition Summit on April 26 at Solaire Resort and Casino in Manila, the Philippines.
The summit brings together global and local animal nutrition experts, swine farmers and industry partners to discuss market outlook, perspectives and opportunities in navigating the swine business, particularly pertaining to the Philippine market.
"At Cargill, we are focused on driving success for our customers and enabling a brighter and more secure future for the swine industry," said Sonny Catacutan, country president of Cargill Philippines and managing director for Cargill's animal nutrition business. "Our Animal Nutrition Summit provides an avenue for us to connect farmers, producers, customers and consumers, and partner with them to build and advance the growth ambitions of the Filipino hog industry."
With the theme "Feeding the Future," the summit will open and connect discussions on the local swine market and feature a lineup of speakers who will cover topics highlighting the importance of an integrated approach to addressing the industry's current biggest challenge, the African swine fever (ASF), and strengthening ASF recovery efforts.
The Animal Nutrition Summit is co-presented by two major hog farmer organisations in the Philippines, the National Federation of Hog Farmers, Inc. (NatFed) and the Pork Producers Federation of the Philippines, Inc. (ProPork). It serves as the welcome event to the National Hog Convention and Trade Exhibit which will run on April 27-29 at the SMX Convention Center.
