Big agricultural producers in Mindanao that include Dole Philippines and Del Monte have expressed their intention to expand their production in the province, but are seeking assistance from Agriculture Secretary Arthur Yap for more farm- to-market-roads and other agricultural facilities such as water impounding stations.


Following a dialogue with big agricultural growers at the Marco Polo Hotel in Davao, Yap told The STAR that big agricultural firms led by Dole and Del Monte expressed their desire to expand their production through more contract growing.
