                    [Summary] => 

Years back, farmers in Barangay Sto. Niño, Capoocan, Leyte, harvested an  average of only 2.05 tons per hectare of corn.


Their low yield had been attributed to lack of funds to purchase farm inputs, use of traditional varieties and cultural practices, occurrence of pests and diseases, and inadequate transport facilities.


That time is past.


Today, corn farmers in the barangay produce an average of 5.05 t/ha of corn and 1.03 t/ha of peanut from the usual 0.8 t/ha.
