Construction of a piggery breeding farm in Ward 28, West Kwaio, Malaita Province will soon start.
The essential plan for the piggery breeding farm has been finalised and is waiting to be tendered out soon.
This project will not be new to the people in Ward 28, who have knowledge and skills in raising the local breed.
According to the Malaita Provincial Assembly member for Ward 28, John Tafiiru Daubo, the required materials for the project have been prepared for the establishment of the slabs.
He said the engineer has designed the piggery breeding farm.
“Materials required for the project have been paid for from our first quarter ward grant, after it was released into our account,” he said.
He said the farm will be managed by local experts in the ward and will be overseen by the ward development committee.
“This project is more technical in nature; thus, local experts in Ward 28 will be deployed to look after the farm with the oversight role of our WDC.
“The technical experts will be paid for their job during the first eight months,” he said.
Meanwhile, he said the project will benefit and engage many people in his ward.
He added that the project aims to meet each household’s financial needs and provide food security for the people.
“All of us will be farming the pigs. Each household and individual will directly benefit from this project to meet their daily essential needs,” he said.
