The provincial government and each of the municipalities in Negros Oriental will soon have its own roadmap for agricultural development following a recent workshop held by the Department of Agriculture in Region 7 for agricultural technologists.
The workshop taught the technologists coming from the towns’ local government units here how to craft an agricultural roadmap that will identify the rice, corn, and high-value crops, livestock and other agricultural data such as production yield in their areas.
“The rationale behind this municipal road map is to consolidate all agricultural development plan initiatives of the municipalities into our provincial commodity program road map,” said Nittz Bangay, information officer of the Provincial Agricultural Office here.
The activity will likewise enhance the AT’s knowledge on the agricultural data of their respective areas.
Bangay said the road map will also show an area’s commodity self-sufficiency, profitability and productive in the agricultural sector.
“It will also provide an opportunity for the LGU to implement interventions, strategies and funding mechanisms to attain their production goals,” she added. (PIA Negros Oriental)
