The Ministry of Agriculture is in the process of transforming a government-owned pig breeding unit located in Siborong-borong, North Sumatra into a compartment free of African Swine Fever (ASF). The unit is in the process of obtaining an ASF-free compartment certificate, which will ensure that the public can access healthy, quality, and ASF-free piglets.

Inspections found that the unit already had adequate infrastructure and management and now several improvements to the supporting aspects must be made before the unit can be designated as an ASF-free compartment. The unit's sub-population of pigs has a different (higher) health status from the sub-population in the surrounding environment based on management and biosecurity factors.

This ASF-free compartmentalization is a government guarantee to ensure that pigs produced from the unit are ASF-free and can be distributed to other areas. ASF-free compartmentalization has also been implemented by pig farms on Bulan Island which export live pigs to Singapore.
