With agreements with the Provincial Government of Isabela, San Agustin Dairy Cooperative (SADACO), the proponent group of the PRDP-funded Carabao Dairy Enterprise (CDE) has started processing dairy products for the frontliners of the different hospitals across Isabela province.

“The cooperative officers have to double their time in preparing the needed 900 bottles needed by the Provincial Government weekly,” Mr. Nilo Aquino I-REAP Business Development Officer said.

“This translates to 250 liters of milk for a week, with 250 ml per bottle of dairy products that the cooperative processes,” he added.

According to Ms. Sally Valencia, Isabela PRDP Action Officer, 700 bottles were distributed to the different District Hospitals located in Cauayan, San Mariano, Cabagan Echague, and the Provincial Hospital in Ilagan and 200 bottles for Southern Isabela Medical Center. (Ferdinand N Cortez, RPCO2 InfoACE Unit)
