Agri-10 continues to manifest support for agri development in 2nd district towns of Misamis Oriental.

 

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY — In a shared commitment to sustain its support for local farmers here, the Department of Agriculture – Regional Field Office 10 (DA-RFO 10) under the leadership of Regional Executive Director Carlene C. Collado, convened with the Congressional Office of Rep. Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano of the 2nd district of Misamis Oriental, on February 19, at the agency compound.

Said meeting tackled the agency’s projects and interventions through its banner programs and other special programs, slated for implementation in 2024.

It also discussed points for future collaboration between the Department and the congressional office, including infrastructure, distribution of seeds and fertilizers for major crops like rice, corn and other high-valued crops, and expanded livestock support, all of which are eyed to address issues and needs of farmers in the district.

Also tackled during the meeting was the availment of funding and support from the Philippine Rural Development Project (PRDP) for the construction of farm-to-market roads and other sub-projects that would largely benefit the district’s agricultural stakeholders.

In consonance with the discussion, the Congressional Office of Rep. Emano conveyed its usual support for the agency, underscoring the importance of this cooperation in recognizing the needs of its constituents, pursuing opportunities to augment existing interventions, and ensuring the sustainability of these interventions.
