CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, Aug. 11 (PIA) - In a Network Briefing with Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Martin Andanar, Governor Jayvee Tyron Uy of Davao de Oro said the strategy they pursue "is really to help marginalized farmers to ensure food security."

Since the number one industry in rthe province is agriculture, the provincial government is helping farmers recover fast. 

“We have allocated more than P14 million for the early recovery measures. Part of our contingency plan for the farmers is extending fertilizers, rice seeds to have an early harvest,” Uy said.

Usually the harvest season is between September and November but with these donations to the rice farmers, and with more than 1,000 hectares, the harvest is expected last week of August, Uy disclosed.

Uy admitted that the enhanced community quarantine period had caused some difficulty in acquiring/buying rice. 

On the other hand, Uy said they distributed vegetable seeds in support of the different government programs such as Brigada Eskwela for Gulayan sa Paaralan and Liwanag sa Pamilya program. For mothers who have malnourished children, the provision of vegetable seeds will allow them to plant in their backyard.

The governor hoped that they could open up tourism in the province when a cure for COVID-19 is available. "Many who live in the cities want to go to the provinces for safety and fresh air. Here in Davao de Oro, we are preparing for tha. We are exploring more tourism destination such as biking, outdoor activities to stimulate economic activities and bring back the service industry into the picture again,” Uy stressed.
