MisOcc achieves higher rice production for 2023

 


The Misamis Occidental province has achieved much higher rice production at the end of 2023 as a result of the provincial government’s Asenso Rice Farmers Full Assistance program, initiated by Governor Henry S. Oaminal for the local farmers.

Since the provincial government implemented its free fertilizer projects and land preparation inputs assistance, Governor Oaminal said the province gradually increased its production yield of up to 5.6 to 6 metric tons (MT) per hectare.

“Sa atong farmers, there was an increased production yield. Originally, ang atong production yield nasa 4.6 to 4.9 metric-tons per hectare, and based on the harvest that we had is 5.6 to 6 metric tons which is even higher than the national target,’’ he said.

Governor Oaminal said the local agriculture program, through the administration’s Asenso Rice Farmers Full Assistance flagship program, targets to maintain food self-sufficiency levels in the province, which was attained by providing sustainable assistance to farmers.

“Ang goal nato nga mo increase ang production yield sa farmers with low production costs so mo increase ang ilang income and at the same time it will also increase the gross domestic product nato diri sa atong probinsya,” he emphasized.

Under the initiative, Gov. Oaminal said the farmers were allowed to use free farm equipment and machinery operated by the provincial government—which could cut the farmers’ production costs—making it more affordable for them.

Gov. Oaminal wants to inspire and support the local agriculture sector so they can help the provincial government attain agricultural productivity, “thereby improving their household income.”(SN/PGMO)
