MANILA -The Department of Agriculture (DA) is planning to complete by the fourth quarter of this year two facilities worth P100 million that will manufacture protein-enriched copra meal (PECM), which is being touted as a cheaper animal feed ingredient. DA's National Livestock Program (NLP) director Ruth Miclat-Sonaco said the agency has earmarked P50 million each for the two plants: one in Batangas province and another in North Cotabato. Two more projects, also with a budget of P50 million each, were lined up for next year, Sonaco said.
