South Korea funds âsmartâ agri projects in Iloilo and Bukidnon
Filipino farmers will start adopting âsmart farming technologiesâ shared by South Korea aimed at enabling them to sustainably produce quality vegetables year-round.
This will be realized soon as the Department of Agriculture (DA) simultaneously launched two smart greenhouse projects in Iloilo and Bukidnon, funded through the Republic of Koreaâs official development assistance (ODA), worth 3.15 Billion Korean Won (US$2.7 million or roughly P135 million).
âOn behalf of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte and the Filipino people, we sincerely thank the Republic of Korea for generously extending a grant through its Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (MAFRA),â said Agriculture Secretary William Dar during the project launch held virtually on December 1, 2020.

As a result of the government’s decision to regulate the issuance of import permits on rice, the Philippines will now end the year with slightly lower imports of the staple.
Despite this, the country is still poised to retain its status as the world’s top rice importer.
In its latest report on global rice production, the US Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) forecast for the Philippines’ 2020 rice imports has been reduced from 2.5 million metric tons (MT) to 2.3 million MT.
This, according to USDA, was because of the Philippines’ Department of Agriculture’s (DA) decision not to issue additional import permits for the remainder of the year.
