A total of Php 4.73 million worth of farm machines were distributed to 18 qualified farmers’ cooperatives and associations (FCAs) from the municipalities of Davao del Sur during the provincial machinery turnover held on August 15, under the Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (RCEF) Mechanization Program.

The 29 units of machines distributed include seven units of four-wheel tractors with complete implements, 18 units of floating tillers, and four units of walk-behind transplanters.

“Our government always provides initiatives, I hope these machines will benefit you toward achieving success in farming and in securing the food production needs of our barangays, our city, and our province,” said Mr. Roberto Zamora, executive assistant of the Office of the Mayor. //JABGolez (FB, DA-PhilMech, August 27, 2024)
