DIGOS CITY, Davao del Sur, Oct. 13 (PIA) – The Office of the
Provincial Agriculturist in the province and the Department of Agriculture
Region XI recently strengthened their partnership to push for more sustainable
agricultural reforms through various programs for Davao del Sur.
The joint efforts underlined the importance of sustainable
agriculture through farm implements as components of Production Support and for
Post-Harvest Facilities and Processing.
Among the assistance provided was the recent distribution of
2,000 bags of cacao seedlings and vegetable seeds under the High Value
Commercial Crops of DA-XI to the municipalities of Bansalan and Malita.
Another assistance from the region was the release of corn seeds
worth P560,000 to 14 municipalities of Davao del Sur, reported OPAG OIC Nally

The provincial government has also released 168 bags of corn
seeds for Davao Occidental as its counterpart.
Bangoy said that OPAG will also distribute 1,000 bundles of
cassava stalks for municipalities of Magsaysay, Bansalan, Matanao and Malita.
In every recipient that has one hectare will be provided 100
bundles with ten bags of organic fertilizer.
Currently, the provincial nursery has made outstanding
contribution by utilizing its five-hectare lot intended for corn production.
This is part of the massive agricultural drive the office is extending to the
farmers of Davao del Sur.
"All the time through thick and thin, we are out to help
farmers on the technological aspects to boost their earnings for economic
sustainability. This is also the thrust of Governor Claude Bautista that every
agricultural component be addressed to the fullest," Bangoy said.
Recently, the municipalities of Jose Abad Santos and Magsaysay
were recipients of corn sheller and tractor.
