The Agriculture Ministry will organise pork product tastings in 713 ministry-run Rural Development Support Centers and 193 District Development Offices, the ministry said in a statement.
"It is important to continue supporting this sector, so that it can return to growth," Agriculture Minister Alberto Cardenas Jimenez said at a ceremony launching the campaign, co-hosted by Enrique Avila Segura, president of the Mexican Pork Farmers Federation.
Cardenas Jimenez said that in June, a total of 470,000 pigs were slaughtered in state-approved slaughterhouses, up from 250,000 in April, when the flu outbreak began in Mexico.
The disease has so far killed 108 people in the country.
