Agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs) in a remote village of Nagsurot in Burgos, Ilocos Norte will soon have a PHP1.5 million worth multi-functional facility to produce high-value crops all year-round.

Meant to help ARBs improve their productivity amid the challenges of climate change, provincial agrarian reform program officer Vic Ines told Philippine News Agency on Thursday the official turnover of the greenhouse is expected in the second quarter of this year.

“We have allotted PHP1.5 million for the project and the amount includes the conduct of capability training and other components of the project,” she said.

Ines said the fund has been downloaded to the local government unit of Burgos for implementation.

She led a team of Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) representatives for the final inspection of the project in Barangay Nagsurot on Wednesday.

In line with the food security program of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., DAR has been introducing modern farm technologies and providing modern farm equipment to ARBs.

With the greenhouse facility, Ines said ARBs can grow more crops year-round that are protected from adverse weather conditions.

Seedling trays, seeds, potting media and seedling tables are also added to the facility. (PNA)
