The 635-hectare Ubay stock farm is a multiplier farm of dairy animals in Bohol where the PCC and the National Dairy Authority (NDA) pursue genetic improvement of dairy animals with the goal of increasing domestic milk production.
The farm’s milk plant processes the milk produced from the stock farm and adjacent farms which are sold within Bohol province and neighboring provinces.
The plant also serves as a training site for dairy technicians.
The government is pushing for increased production of milk to lessen dependence on imports.
Domestic milk production rose to 20.010 million litters in 2014 from 19.53 million liters in 2013. The NDA targets to ramp up milk production to self sufficiency level by 2021.
