CamSur Obtains of RCEF Mechines

Farmers’ cooperatives and associations (FCAs) and local government units from Camarines Sur are the latest recipients of farm machines under the Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Program (RCEF) – Mechanization Program, marking what is expected to be the final machine turnover under the program for 2023.

A total of Php19 million worth of Combine Harvesters were distributed under the program and awarded to 11 FCAs and LGUs during the Provincial Turnover of Interventions – a collaborative effort between PHilMech, the Department of Agriculture, and the Provincial Government. This event, held on December 18, played a crucial role in distributing almost Php60 million in agricultural interventions, benefiting nearly 3000 farmers who were present on the day.

Officials, including Regional Executive Director for DA-RFOV Rodel Tornilla, RTD Luz Marcelino, Hon. Governor Luigi Villafuerte, Hon. Vice Governor Salvio Patrick Fortuno, and PLGU Board Members, graced the occasion.
