According to the DAR, the beneficiaries include the Saranay Multi-Purpose Cooperative which received a tractor head with 460 horsepower worth P3,499,000; and the LiLucaban Agrarian Reform Farmers and Community Organization, and Monggayan-Pinto Agrarian Reform Farmers Organization which received a unit each of combined harvester for rice and corn amounting to P1,988,000 per unit.
Meanwhile, the DAR said that the Tallo Purok Happy Agrarian Reform Farmers Organization was provided with four-wheel drive tractor and super thresher worth P2,970,000; while the Aduyongan Agrarian Reform Farmers Organization, Talbok Agrarian Reform Farmers Organization, and Bongan Agrarian Reform Farmers Organization each got a unit of bulilit floating tiller priced at P55,500 per unit.
The Ngileb Agrarian Reform Farmers Organization was given an engine for a flatbed dryer worth P85,000, the agency added.
Provincial Agrarian Reform Program Officer II Raul Laluan said the farm machinery and equipment would aid farmers to increase their yields and revenue.
“The intervention you receive is God-given. I encourage you to continue praying so that more blessings will come not only from the DAR but also from other government agencies,” he said.
The farm machinery and equipment were distributed by the DAR's Climate Resiliency and Farm Productivity Support Program through the Sustainable & Resilient Agrarian Reform Community (SuReARC). The program seeks to encourage farm mechanization in order to help Filipino farmers improve their productivity, income, and food security in the country.
