PUSPUSAN ang pagbibigay ayuda ng Department of Industry (DTI) sa mga nasa industriya ng kape sa Sultan Kudarat, ayon kay DTI Provincial Director Mary Ann Morales.

Namahagi ang DTI ng coffee farm rejuvenation tools sa 1,142 na magsasaka ng kape sa Lebak, Senator Ninoy Aquino at Kalamansi.

Namahagi rin ang DTI ng pruning shears, saws, grafting knives, knapsack sprayers at chainsaws para masuportahan ang rehabilitasyon ng coffee farms at masiguro na makakamit ang resilience at long-term industry sustainability.

“By integrating Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) training with the distribution of rejuvenation tools, we are empowering our coffee farmers with the skills and resources necessary to restore their farms and elevate their yields.

This initiative will not only improve productivity and bean quality but will also pave the way for a more resilient and thriving coffee industry in Sultan Kudarat,” pahayag ni Morales.

Dahil sa tulong ng DTI, inaasahang tataas ang produksyon ng mga magsasaka.

Nakatutok ang programa sa pagpapalakas sa coffee, cacao, coconut at processed fruits at nuts industries.

“With a strong emphasis on poverty reduction, the initiative aims to create sustained income growth for small holder farmers and unemployed rural workers, helping uplift communities and drive long-term economic progress,” pahayag ni Morales.
