+ December 11, 2020 THE municipality of Asturias wants to address the high demand for yellow corn, which is a main ingredient in animal feeds.
“Our soil is good for yellow corn and with that, we would like our farmers here to cultivate more of that crop, especially that Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia has encouraged the production of yellow corn,” said Asturias Mayor Jose Antonio Pintor, in a recently concluded Cord Derby hosted by Virginia Farms Inc. and Asturias Farms.
