A coconut farmer in San Juan, Sogod, Southern Leyte hauls his harvest for delivery to a local copra processing center. The Department of Agriculture (DA), through the Philippine Rural Development Project (PRDP), supports coconut farmers and other agricultural producers in this part of Eastern Visayas with the concreting and rehabilitation of the 4.23-kilometer farm-to-market road connecting four barangays in this town, including San Juan. The P30.38-million PRDP sub-project will serve about 650 hectares of coconut plantations and more than 400 hectares of land planted to abaca, rice and high-value crops. (Photo by DA-PRDP)
