Agriculture Secretary Proceso J. Alcala will lead the groundbreaking of the Brgy. Caduhaan-Sitio Aluyan FMR in Cadiz and the Sitio Magtuod-Vergara FMR in Toboso on May 27, 2015.
With a total SP cost of P134,758,000.00, the FMR in Cadiz City will benefit the production areas of 877hectares (ha) planted to sugarcane, rice and corn.
Furthermore, the rehabilitation aims to increase the number of vehicles by 15% that traverse the road influence area for the first five areas, to reduce hauling costs of farmers by at least 30%, and to develop 100ha for rice, 20ha for corn and 50ha for sugarcane production.
On the otherhand, the rehab of Sitio Magtuod- Vergara FMR costs P47, 237, 000.00. This has a direct road influence area of 1,000ha planted to sugarcane and rice.
Aside from the benefit of easy transportation, this FMR project is geared to expand the production area of at least 3ha for muscovado sugarcane, 2ha for raw sugarcane, and 1ha for rice annually, thus increasing the average production of agri commodities by 50% before the end of 2019. /SMHTDARFO6InformationSection
