As one of the partner-agencies in the implementation of Pangasinan’s corporate farming program, PHilMech, led by Director IV Dionisio G. Alvindia, signed a memorandum of agreement during the launching activity held on Friday, July 7, 2023 at the Ramon J. Guico Sr. Sports and Civic Center in Binalonan, Pangasinan.

With the theme “Sama-sama sa corporate farming, tungo sa mataas na ani at kita,” a simultaneous technology demonstration on precision rice seeder, riding-type, and walk-behind transplanters was conducted to showcase the aforementioned crop establishment technologies to farmer-beneficiaries from the municipalities of Binalonan and Umingan.

In addition, an exhibit of various information, education, and communication (IEC) materials on Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (RCEF) Mechanization Program was set up to increase the farmers’ interest in modern agricultural machines. (FB, DA-PHilMech)
