Fifteen owners of farm schools and learning sites in Luzon attended the "Training of Trainers on Production of High Quality Inbred Seeds and Farm Mechanization" program held at the Villar Social Institute for Poverty Alleviation and Governance (Villar SIPAG) Farm School in Bacoor City.
Conducted by the Agricultural Training Institute-Regional Training Center IV-A, Philippine Center for Post-Harvest Development and Mechanization, and Philippine Rice Research Institute-Los Banos, the training course aims to enhance the knowledge and skills of participants on modernized production technologies.
Sen. Cynthia Villar, director of Villar SIPAG, said the course is part of the program under Republic Act 11203 or the law which created the P10-billion Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund, where a pool of trainers will take the lead in teaching farmers in different parts of the country how to improve their yield and increase their incomes by lowering the cost of producing palay.
At the farm school were Engr. Niño Bengosta (Philmech), Engr.Don David Julian (Philmech), and Maritess Piamonte Cosico (ATI REGION 4A).
