AT the backlands of Triumph, East Coast Demerara, David “Davo” Sital has turned adversity into achievement, establishing one of the most respected small-scale swine operations in the area. Known for his attention to hygiene, record-keeping, and the production of quality pork, his farm today stands as both a family legacy and a model of resilience.
Sital comes from a generation of swine farmers — his grandparents raised pigs, and he has continued in their footsteps. “I grew up seeing what pig farming meant to my family, and I always wanted to improve on it,” he explained. This commitment is reflected in the meticulous farm records he maintains, documenting breeding, feeding, health management, and sales. The system not only strengthens efficiency but also ensures transparency for regulators and buyers.
