CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro, Feb. 21 (PIA) -- To increase awareness on the benefits under free trade agreements, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) provincial office will conduct seminar on ‘Doing Business in Free Trade Areas (DBFTA)’ on February 23 at the Filipiniana Hotel in Calapan City.
CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro, Feb. 10 (PIA) – The province of Oriental Mindoro received the 2011 Agri-Pinoy Rice Achiever Award last Februarry 10 at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) in Manila.
   
   
According to Oscar M. Agbay, DTI provincial director, the seminar will focus on free trade agreements specifically trade in goods, trade in services, investments, tariff classification of the product, customs procedures and movement of natural persons that can provide opportunities for Filipino professionals, including nurses and skilled workers.
Gov. Alfonso V. Umali, Jr. together with provincial agriculturist Petronilo Dimailig received a plaque of recognition and P4 million in cash prize from Department of Agriculture (DA) Secretary Proceso Alcala.
   
   
"These free trade agreements bring a number of benefits, primarily tariff elimination or reduction which will make Philippine exports products more competitive," Agbay said.
Oriental Mindoro placed third among the top 10 rice-producing provinces in the Philippines.
   
   
He also added the other benefits which include lower costs of inputs to production, wider range of choice of goods for consumers at lower prices and job generation. (LBR/LTC-PIA4B/Calapan)
According to Dimailig, based on the evaluation conducted recently by DA, the production of rice in the province has been continuously rising in the past years. He said the provincial government’s programs on seed subsidy, the launching of ‘Gawad Sapat Ani,’ the technical support, conducting farmers’ field school, and other trainings for farmers are factors in giving of the award to the province.
It can be recalled that the ‘Agri-Pinoy Rice Achiever Awards’ was recently launched by Presedent Benigno S. Aquino III to raise rice production and attain rice self-sufficiency.
