“In the province, one municipality is assigned one craft. So here in La Paz, we were assigned to rubber which we are developing since last year. We built a nursery so we can distribute it to our farmers in the municipality,” said Lim.

Lim added that buyers of rubber usually come from Cotabato, Davao, Cagayan, Surigao. “We also want to have a rubber processing plant here because we have plenty of supply. Apart from that, we also plant cacao, banana, corn, and rice here,” he said.
