Agri-10 provides PNP-10 agri inputs in support of their self-sustainability and resilience efforts.

 

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – The Department of Agriculture – Regional Field Office 10 (DA-RFO 10) under the tutelage of Regional Executive Director Carlene C. Collado, extends its support to the Philippine National Police-10 (PNP-10) by providing agricultural inputs on March 15, at the agency compound.

DA-10 Regional Technical Director for Research and Regulations Cora A. Dumayaca and High Value Crops Development Program (HVCDP) focal person Kersten S. Pagalan turned over provisions, comprising a tin can each of hybrid squash (Soledad Improved), hybrid eggplant (Checkmate), ampalaya (Makiling) and pechay (Black Behi) to PNP-10 representative Amenodin S. Sangcopan.

Requested by the company commander of the Technical Support Company of PNP-10, which operates as a specialized division within the Regional Mobile Force Battalion 10, Police Major Aiman Khuzaimah P. Pantaran said that the agri-assistance will enable them to promote self-sustainability and resilience in vegetable production and also ensure a stable and sustainable food source for its personnel, especially in emergencies and challenging situations.

“We would like to thank DA-10 for its response in providing seeds to the PNP. This would greatly help us in [achieving] food security and also allow us to generate economic benefits through the sale of [any] surplus produce,” Amenodin said.

The assorted veggie seeds is funded under HVCDP’s Production Support Services.# (TJTL)
