Davide Leads Distribution of PHP4.3M Worth of Agri-machineries to Farmers’ Groups

Cebu Governor Hilario Davide III on Thursday led the distribution of some Php4.3 million worth of agri-machineries to different farmers associations in Cebu at the Cebu Capitol grounds in Barangay Capitol Site here.

Davide said his administration will continue supporting initiatives and programs for farmers in the province.

The agri-machineries and equipment include 20 corn mills, 15 units of outdoor storage called Hermetic Cocoon, 15 moisture meters and 10 weighing scales.

Cebu Provincial Agriculturist Roldan Saragena said 20 farmers’ organizations and beneficiaries in 20 different towns in Cebu will benefit from the equipment.

Saragena said the beneficiaries were from corn-producing areas.

“We also took into consideration farmers associations that are active and interested,” Saragena said. (PNA) LDV/EB/EDS
