Lorenzo III of Quezon municipality in Bukidnon province recently requested the Department of Agriculture in Northern Mindanao (DA-10) to support the town's overall goal of increasing farmers' income and improving livelihoods. The mayor sought DA's assistance particularly on animal dispersal program; abaca, vegetable and fruit production; and farm mechanization strategy, among other agri-interventions to help local farmers earn more amid the pandemic. Guided by the Department's twin goals of "Masaganang Ani, Mataas na Kita," Regional Executive Director Carlene Collado quickly convened DA-10's technical team to discuss with Mayor Lorenzo on providing necessary technical and financial assistance to attain the government's common vision of food-secure communities and empowered farmers.
