BUTUAN CITY – A 100-hectare demonstration farm to showcase hybrid rice technology has been established in Butuan City.
DA 13-Caraga Regional Executive Director Abel James I. Monteagudo leads the ceremonial planting yesterday to officially kick-off the preparations for the 11th National Rice Technology Forum in October, 2020, hosted by the Caraga region.
For the 2020 wet cropping season, 61 participating Farmer-Cooperators from the Barangays of Ampayon, Basag, and Lemon in Butuan City are taking part in establishing a 100-hectare area rice technology demonstration farm. The farmer-cooperators will also take the responsibility of the labor cost and expenses for the maintenance and the growth of hybrid rice until its harvesting.
Since water is very important in hybrid production, the DA, together with the National Irrigation Administration – Caraga, is working closely to ensure water availability in the production sites.
