AgSur ARBO earns
P5.1-M amid COVID-19

LA PAZ, Agusan del Sur, May 14 - The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR)
in Agusan del Sur continues to provide aid to farmer-beneficiaries despite the
threat posed by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Following the call of President Rodrigo Duterte to “Heal as One” in this
time of crisis and with the directive of DAR Secretary John R. Castriciones to
help the farmers in the delivery of their products with ease, DAR Agusan del
Sur has come up with a marketing tie-up strategy to ensure that the farmers
will not experience the dramatic consequences due to the stemming blast of
COVID-19.
With this initiative, the Lumad sa Adgawan Multi-Purpose Farmers
Cooperative (LAMPUFACO) was able to supply 1,400 sacks of milled rice as well
as dry goods to the local government unit of La Paz for their second round of
relief operations which earned them a total of P5.1-M.
LAMPUFACO Manager Lorena Durango said that with this earning, around 552
members who were mostly Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries (ARBs) were benefited.
“Salamat ug dako sa DAR sa makanunayong pagtabang kanamo nga mga
mag-uuma nga bisan pa sa kalisod karong panahona naka income gihapon me pinaagi
sa inyong pagpakigsabot sa LGU aron kami mauy magsupply sa relief goods (Thank
you so much to DAR for the usual support for farmers like us, despite the
challenges nowadays, we are still earning through your collaboration with
LGU),” she said.
Citing the situation of the farmers in this COVID-19 crisis, PARPO II
Jamil P. Amatonding, Jr., ensured the sector that the department is doing its
best to provide their welfare and ensure the marketability of their produce
even in this trying times.
“This marketing strategy was initiated because we are committed to
helping the farmers who were excessively at risk of food security themselves.
With low income as a major reason, it would be tragic if that problem will
intensify and their ability to deliver and earn at the same time will be
hampered,” bared Amatonding.
Meanwhile, as part of the ARBOs' commitment to the LGU, they are
currently consolidating palay from its members for additional 2,000 sacks of
well-milled rice for the month of May. (DAR-Agusan del Sur/PIA-Agusan del Sur)
