The Department of Agriculture has urged 2015’s agriculture
and agriculture-related course graduates to stay in the country and practice
what they have learned about our plants, animals and soils on our soil.
Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala said, the agriculture sector still has a lot of potential and infusion of fresh blood will give the sector the necessary push for it to flourish.
“There is a dire need for fresh blood in agriculture, especially those with knowledge about new planting, fishing and animal-raising technologies,” Alcala said.
According to the Secretary, many of our finest graduates opt to go abroad in search of the so-called greener pastures. He added, though graduates of our universities cannot be stopped from going abroad, the Department still hopes that the exodus of our agri graduates can be lessened.
“If our graduates stay in the Philippines to practice what they have learned here, they might not be paid as much, but they will be of great help to our countrymen,” Alcala said. According to the Secretary, our country’s universities offer the best agriculture and agriculture-related courses.
He added, that is why students from neighboring countries come to our shores, to learn from the best.
“Foreigners come here to learn and practice what they learned from our schools in their homeland. We at the Department are hoping that our graduates will do the same for our country,” the Secretary said.
Earlier, the Department urged high school graduates to enroll in farming and fisheries related courses. (DA)
