The week-long visit of the Danish Pig Alliance to the Philippines concluded on Saturday 29 March 2025 with a dinner hosted by the Ambassador of Denmark to the Philippines, Franz-Michael “Dan-Dan” Mellbin, and Mme. Eva Fischer Mellbin.
The dinner brought together representatives of the participating Danish companies and key leaders from the Philippine pork industry. Over a meal that included a pork dish, discussions focused on opportunities for further collaboration between Denmark and the Philippines in strengthening the local swine industry.
According to the Danish Embassy in Manila, pork remains a vital part of Filipino cuisine and culture, with dishes like lechon and adobo serving as national staples. The industry also supports millions of jobs, particularly among backyard farmers, and plays a significant role in economic development.
The Danish delegation reiterated their readiness to share expertise and technological solutions that can help improve productivity, biosecurity, and sustainability in the Philippine pig farming sector.
The event capped a series of meetings and site visits by the Danish Pig Alliance aimed at building partnerships and identifying areas where Danish agri-technology and know-how can contribute to food security and industry growth in the Philippines.
