SOME 13,772 farmers from Bataan province will benefit from a project jointly initiated by the Department of Agriculture (DA), Department of Agrarian reform (DAR) and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). | |||
A 3,970-hectare agricultural and forestry area in Orion town was chosen to pioneer a local agro-enterprise in the province. | |||
DENR will distribute seedlings of Atis, Guyabano, Mango, Cacao, Rambutan, Coffee Arabica and Macadamia while DA will conduct capability building training on organic farming and give out vegetable seeds. | |||
DAR, for its part, will hold lectures ranging from land tenure improvement to agrarian justice delivery. | |||
Eden Ponio, DAR Regional Support Services Division chief agrarian reform officer, explained that the local convergence agro-enterprise cluster site project seeks to stimulate economic activity in the countryside and support the Aquino administration’s National Greening Program. | |||
It was conceived through the enhanced National Convergence Initiative (NCI) issued by secretaries Proceso Alcala of DA, Virgilio Delos Reyes of DAR and Ramon Paje of DENR last year. | |||
Ponio explained that the three agencies will soon identify more convergence areas in the province in the coming months. | |||
