ILAGAN, Isabela- Local government units of the province are holding a farmers congress in their respective towns to better explain and inform the province’s nine-point agriculture program particularly to farmers who have less than a hectare of farmland. | |||
Governor Faustino G. Dy III said the provincial government has initiated a provincial farmers congress in February this year to launch the nine agriculture programs, which will benefit the intended Isabela farmers. | |||
The nine agricultural programs launched by the provincial government are Loan Assistance for Marginalized Farmers Program; Ayuda sa Presyo, Pantawid Pamasahe Program, Paniguro sa Pananim, college scholarships for sons and daughters of farmers (education), PhilHealth para sa Magsasaka, Sapat na Seguridad para sa Magsasaka, Life Insurance para sa Magsasaka, and Provincial Health Care para sa Magsasaka. | |||
The province’s agriculture program aims to ease the burden of farmers and ensure their products including their health and lives are secured while doing their share in helping the government meet its target of rice self-sufficient by year 2013. | |||
Dy said the municipal-level congress is being conducted in the municipalities, intending to bring the program of the government closer to the target farmers, which includes radio programs that are regularly conducted to explain and then deliver the assistance from the provincial government. | |||
The provincial government has allotted P195 million for the program, as majority of Isabelinos are engaged in farming and are vulnerable to many calamities hitting the province. | |||
Farmers in the last two years were extremely affected particularly their farm products and the need to regain their losses is vital and the assistance from the provincial government is really needed. | |||
Governor Dy personally attended to the set farmers' congress in the locality to ensure that the delivery of assistance to the farmers are properly distributed. | |||
“We may not attend all the set farmers congresses in all the 35 municipalities and the one city of the province but I assure my beloved farmers that the assistance due to them will be delivered through the provincial agriculture office," Dy said. | |||
The province’s chief executive has personally attended the farmers congresses in Benito Soliven, San Guillermo, Luna, and other municipalities in the province, which conducted the farmers congress in the previous weeks. | |||
