Bago Mayor Nicholas Yulo and city agriculturist-designate Marvin John Blance turned over a total of P1 million worth of trading capital support from the Department of Agriculture Western Visayas to two farmers associations in the city.
The assistance, through the DA Enhanced Kadiwa Program, was received by the Mailum Organic Village Association and the Small Farmers Association of Abuanan, Dulao and Atipuluan recently, the city said in a press release March 21.
The Enhanced Kadiwa Program intends to provide qualified farmers associations in the city with P500,000 each as additional capital to purchase supplies and help them sell their produce directly to the consumers.
“Congratulations to our two farmers associations for being the recipients of the financial grant through the efforts of our good mayor Yulo, Vice Mayor Ramon Torres and the Sangguniang Panlungsod members, especially their strong dedication and determination to help our local farmers,” the City Agriculture Office said. ||
