TWO farm-to-market road projects worth P8.5 million were recently completed as part of the government’s effort to boost economic activity in Davao Oriental, the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) announced. | |||
Farmers belonging to the Lacambita or La Union, Cambaleon, Bitaogan, Talisay agrarian reform community in San Isidro, Davao Oriental along with other residents in the area stand to benefit from the two projects. | |||
DAR Regional Director Datu Yusoph B. Mama said the road projects are vital components in the government’s drive to spur rural development in the agrarian reform community (ARC). | |||
Mama said that the farmers would have greater flexibility in their dealings with traders, following the concreting of two farm-to-market roads namely the Junction National Hwy. to Talisay Rd. and the Bangkok 1 to Purok Dahlia Rd. | |||
Some 3,000 agrarian reform beneficiaries now benefit from these roads. With their completion, there is now easier accessibility to the farms. Also, convenience in transporting agricultural and marine products has significantly improved. | |||
Mama emphasized that one of the major goals of DAR is to improve farmers’ lives by increasing their income. “These roads will help realize that goal,” Mama said. | |||
The farm-to-market roads were implemented under the Agrarian Reform Infrastructure Support Projects and funded by the Japan Bank for International Cooperation. | |||
