Some 380 trainers and farmers are to be trained under the RCEF – RESP in 2022.
The trainings, short courses, and farmer field schools will include rice stakeholders from Regions 9, 12, and the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).
Sixty rice specialists and 90 trainers will be trained on production of high-quality inbred rice seeds and farm mechanization; and on pest and nutrient management.
Dr. Sailila E. Abdula, PhilRice Midsayap director and DA assistant secretary for BARMM, said that aside from producing more trainees, the intensified training activities will also strengthen partnerships among RCEF implementing agencies.
