“Ang mga ibabahagi natin ngayon ay para sa rehabilitation ng mahigit 8,300 na puno ng mangga dito sa probinsiya. Ibibigay na natin ang mga agri inputs para magamit na nila ito bilang paghahanda sa pamumulaklak ng mga puno, higit na dalawa hanggang tatlong buwan mula ngayon,” SDC officer Edwin Cariño explained.

Aside from mango growers, rice, vegetable, and other high value crops growers also received a total of 25 units of gasoline-fed water pump engine from a private donor.

“Ang PGIN na ang nag-provide ng mga materyal para sa mga growers natin. Malaking kaluwagan sa kanilang gastusin ang mga agri inputs na ito at makatutulong rin sa productivity ng kanilang mga tanim. Higit sa lahat, libre ang mga ito para sa kanila,” Mr. Cariño added.
