To address the critical rice production gaps of Region 12, PhilRice Midsayap held inception meetings on March 19-21 to introduce and scale three technologies namely: Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD), Direct-Seeded Rice (DSR), and saline rice varieties.
In Kiamba, Sarangani, 18 farmer-beneficiaries have already started planting saline rice varieties, a strategic move to combat low rice production in the province’s saline environment. This effort is part of PhilRice Midsayap’s technology scaling blockbuster project toward prosperous rice farming communities.
