Carrascal - Municipal Agriculture Office (MAO) conducted a field validation of
the Cocoy’s Family Farm owned by Mr. Joel Antigo in Sitio Libuac of Barangay
Doyos, Carrascal, Surigao del Sur on January 9, 2023.
Based on the report, the validation intends for the possible recommendation and
other interventions to introduce the area for farm development.
The activity conducted is one of the priority initiatives of Carrascal Mayor
Vicente H. Pimentel III in the agriculture sector to strengthen its extension
services to farmers who are willing to adapt modern conceptualization of farm
sites by engaging a diversified farming technology regardless of their farm
location.
It was learned that the validation was focused on site agricultural profiling,
geo-tagging and terrain classification to identify suitable commodities by
emphasizing a location-specific crop introduction to ensure its productivity.
The team accordingly also provided agri-extension support and technical
assistance on how to develop the farm following the Department of Agriculture’s
(DA) basic processes and thrust this calendar year 2023.
The LGU will serve as support and guide to the cooperator to prepare necessary
documents to be submitted to identified government entities mandated to boost
the agriculture sector in the country. (LGU-Carrascal, SDS)
