DA-10 continues to promote vegetable production and food security in communities through the provision of veggie seeds.

 

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – In support of its community development initiative, the Department of Agriculture – Northern Mindanao (DA-10) headed by Regional Executive Director Carlene C. Collado turned over 25 packets of assorted vegetable seeds (Sinigang variant) to the Golden City Eagles Club (GCEC), a club duly affiliated to The Fraternal Order of Eagles.

On April 18, at the agency compound, DA-10 through Regional Technical Director for Research and Regulations Cora A. Dumayaca conferred the said provisions to the club representative, Brian Paje on behalf of its Club President, Dino C. Paradero.

According to Paje, the received agri inputs will be used in their upcoming planting activity for their select benefiting community at Sitio Santa Cruz, Barangay Gimaylan in Libertad, Misamis Oriental.

With the granted veggie seeds, RED Collado pins his hopes that the community will bring about food security in the said locality, as they can produce, harvest, consume, and even sell their surplus produce. # (JLO)
