Rice production in Caraga would benefit from a P260 million investment.
The Caraga Region has allocated PHP260.8 million to increase rice production this year.
According to Emmylou Presilda, DA-13 information officer, the higher rice production is also in keeping with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s directions about the stability of the rice supply and increased farm household income among rice farmers.
Presilda stated that the “Production Support Services Program” provides our rice farmers with high-yielding rice seed kinds and fertilizer assistance.
Amounting to PHP178.9 million of the entire budget, it will go toward the program for production support services in the local rice industry.
The extension assistance, education, and training services of the rice program in the area will also get a total budget of PHP54.4 million, she continued.
According to Presilda, the region’s provinces and municipalities’ rice extension workers would also benefit from the education and training services provided to rice farmers and their leaders.
The rice program also includes PHP13.7 million for services on the irrigation network, PHP6.9 million for infrastructure and support services, and PHP6.7 million for R&D.
Presilda stated that DA-13 Regional Executive Director Ricardo Oate Jr. had previously conducted a conversation with the stakeholders and partners in the rice business on January 20.
According to her, the discussion was centered on the problems and issues that the region’s rice industry faces, notably those related to farm mechanization and the creation of cooperatives and organizations among rice farmers through clustering.
The group also talked about creating chances for local rice stakeholders to earn multiple streams of revenue and the sustainability of the operations of the rice processing centers in the area.
