TACLOBAN CITY, Leyte, November 12 (PIA) -– With Southern Leyte and Biliran as top rice producing provinces in Eastern Visayas, they are the region's nominees to the search for Agri-Pinoy Rice Achievers Awards 2011. | |||
Southern Leyte and Biliran were chosen because they achieved a 152 percent rice sufficiency index, said Department of Agriculture Region 8 information chief Francis Rosaroso. | |||
He added that Southern Leyte is the Region’s top hybrid rice producer, due to the Provincial Government's program “Plant Now Pay Later” that allows farmers to avail of seeds and other inputs loan, payable after harvest. | |||
The Agri-Pinoy Rice Achievers award is open to all provinces, municipalities/cities, irrigators’ association and agricultural extension workers, Rosaroso said. | |||
There are four categories for the Agri-Pinoy Rice Achievers’ Awards: the Top 10 Outstanding Provinces, which will receive P4 million each; Top 50 Outstanding Municipalities/Cities, which will receive P1 million each; Top 10 Outstanding Irrigators’ Associations, which will receive P1 million each. | |||
The awards will be in form of projects, which should help increase the productivity of the rice production industry in the locality. The Top 500 Outstanding Agricultural Extension Workers will each receive P20,000 cash. | |||
The Agri-Pinoy Rice Achievers’ Awards aims to encourage the full participation of LGUs involved in rice production and to recognize the highly performing provinces, municipalities and cities, Irrigators’ Associations, and agricultural extension workers as important stakeholders in the national food self-sufficiency program. | |||
The main criteria for the selection are yield increment, production data on rice for 2006-2010, budget allocation for rice production, provincial Rice Self Sufficiency Program (RSSP) road map and profile of the IAs (Irrigators Associations). | |||
The awarding of winners will be in January of 2012, Rosaroso said. (PIA 8) | |||
