Cacao seedlings distribution to benefit Comvalenyos


COMPOSTELA VALLEY PROVINCE -- Nurturing cacao production as a potential industry in the province, Governor Arturo T. Uy has continuously supported the agriculture programs with more funding allocations and production efficiency strategies through the Provincial Agriculturist’s Office (PAGRO).

One area of concentration is on the High Value Commercial Crops (HVCC) wherein cacao seedlings were given to the farmers.

In January of this year, more or less 108,000 cacao seedlings were distributed for free to the barangays.  The first barangays to receive  are Brgy. Saosao and Brgy. Sawangan in the municipality of Mawab , Brgy. Mayaon and Brgy.

Prosperidad in Montevista, Brgy. San Jose of Monkayo, and Brgy. San Roque and Brgy. San Isidro of Nabunturan.  Each barangay received more than 12,000 seedlings during the ceremonial turn-over. Other barangays are allocated also with such seedlings.

The province’s partner in this endeavor is the Department of National Defense (DND) through the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP) and the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) under the program “Payapa at Masaganang Pamayanan” or PAMANA.  (grace almedilla, ids-comval)
