Philippine Carabao Centre serves Filipino farmers

摘要

Improving the productivity and profitability of carabao production is a concern that remains high on the Philippine Government's social agenda. The fundamental reason is obvious: there are some 3.2 million carabaos spread all over the country, most of which are utilized by small-hold farmers who comprise 99% of the farming population. As such, these farmers have fewer resources, earn marginal income and have less access to other economic opportunities.
