Last week, the Department of Agriculture said that it will undertake a five-year plan worth P6.625 billion [€112.5 mln ] in order to boost agricultural productivity in Mindanao and the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (Barmm). The initiative, called the Mindanao Inclusive Agriculture Development Project (MIADP), will be funded by a development assistance loan from the World Bank.
The project is expected to improve the economic situation of the [indigenous people] in Mindanao through the provision of agri-infrastructure support such as farm-to-market roads, bridges, small-scale irrigation projects, potable water system, and agriculture tramline system,” said the DA in a statement.
