Venvi Agro-Industrial Ventures Inc. (VENVI) and PIC Philippines have officially renewed their long-standing partnership, marking over a decade of collaboration dedicated to advancing the Philippine swine industry.

The contract extension, signed on July 15, 2025, reaffirms both organizations’ shared commitment to rebuilding and strengthening local swine production through innovation, sustainability, and world-class genetics. Over the past ten years, this partnership has played a pivotal role in improving herd performance, supporting local farmers, and enhancing national food security.

As part of the renewed agreement, VENVI will expand its sow population from 4,000 to 5,250 sows—a 31% increase that is expected to significantly boost breeder production and help meet the growing demand for high-quality pork across the country.

Breeding the sow of the future starts today. How?
➡️ With Maternal GNX. ⬅️
Our Maternal GNX program captures phenotypic and genomic data on thousands of crossbred daughters raised in commercial settings. With over 150,000 records collected per year, this real-world production data is used to strengthen our selection index, resulting in accelerated genetic progress. 📊 🐖
That’s just one way we’re advancing sow longevity. Discover others: https://bit.ly/456sBeN
