SURIGAO DEL SUR- “My plan is to rehab every
system need of irrigators” said Department of Agriculture Regional Field
Unit-13 Executive Director Dr. Edna M. Mabeza during the General Assembly and
Reorganization meeting and IA review and planning session of Surigao del Sur
Irrigator’s Federation (SURIF), Inc. at Muyco’s Resort by the Bay, Tandag City last August 1-2, 2012.
Mabeza talked to the participants
about the problems of the farmers in the province. Issues with regards to the
price of the harvested products, farm damage and farm cultivation situation of
CANCARMADCARLAN area were discussed.
“The DA Secretary Proseso Alcala is
serious in the implementation of programs” said Mabeza. The secretary also is
in implementation of putting up warehouse, starter seeds and pre and post
harvest facilities to help the farmers in their production.
Mabeza admitted that it is really a struggle
in protecting watersheds but she encouraged the concerned farmers that they
will help together to pass a resolution
to the President to address the cry of the Karak-an river as affected by mining and as
the primary source of water irrigation for farming
in the CARCANMADCARLAN area.
Linkages to other
concern agencies will be made also to answer these serious problems. “The DA and the government are always willing
to listen sincerely to the concern of the farmers” Mabeza added. ### Jahzeel C. Tubal
