Learning gaps in rice production technologies will soon be addressed in certain Mindanao regions through a communication needs assessment (CNA) to be conducted with the National Irrigation Administration (NIA).
OIC Branch Director Ommal Abdulkadil of DA-PhilRice Midsayap said that the CNA results will guide the two organizations in delivering timely and harmonized communication and extension services.
Representatives from the irrigators’ associations in Regions 9, 12, and the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao will be selected. In 2022, the station distributed about 100,000 knowledge products and conducted around 30 knowledge sharing and learning activities.
