The United States (US) is funding two separate agriculture projects in the Philippines with combined investment of P1.6 billion.
In a letter to Philippine Agriculture Secretary William Dar, US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Thomas J. Vilsack said his agency is committed to making “historic investments” in the agriculture sector not just in the US but also in other countries like the Philippines.
This was in response to Dar’s letter congratulating Vilsack for his appointment as the USDA chief. In the letter, Dar also urged for “strengthening collaborative efforts between the Philippines and the US on agricultural trade, technical cooperation, and other partnership opportunities.”
