E. Kalimantan exports boars

SAMARINDA, East Kalimantan: A businessman said over the
weekend that he would respond to the Philippines' demand for wild
boars.

Achmad Bactiar, chairman of the East Kalimantan branch of the
Indonesian Chamber of Commerce, said he was optimistic the
business would be lucrative.

In East Kalimantan, boars are considered pests that hamper
farming and have no economic value.

Achmad was quoted by Antara as saying that the city of Davao
in the Philippines needs around 1,000 wild boars every month.

"Hopefully the export agreement will be agreed upon by
September," Achmad said. (14)
