DAIRY farmers in Antique will supply 11,000 students with milk under the government’s school feeding program.

National Dairy Authority project development officer 3 Arden Caletina said that they will provide the supply for the 50-day milk feeding program for 11,067 students in the province.

The beneficiaries will be given fresh milk twice a week to address their nutritional needs.

DepEd Division of Antique School Governance and Operations Division chief Evelyn Remo said the NDA tapped the Belison Multi-Purpose Cooperative, the local dairy supplier, to start the delivery to district offices.

“The BMPC delivers the dairy milk to the DepEd district offices twice a week that are being picked up by the school heads to be transported to their schools,” she said.

“The program is intended for the wasted and severely wasted school children,” she added.
