MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur (PIA) -- The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Agrarian Reform (MAFAR) led the groundbreaking ceremony for a cutting-edge corn seed storage with solar dryer in Dagolonan, Tagoloan town, on March 8.

The facility has a 20m x 30m solar dryer and a 15m x 20m storage area. The infrastructure protects crop varieties, minimizes harvest losses, and bolsters the local food supply.

I anticipate that this project will benefit not only the farmers in the area but also those in other barangays of the municipality of Tagoloan," Ansano emphasized.

The groundbreaking event demonstrated MAFAR's dedication to supporting Bangsamoro farmers with programs designed to secure their long-term viability.
