                    [Summary] => The Department of Agriculture (DA) is allocating up to P7.5 billion for more drying facilities in rice and corn-producing areas in the country to reduce post-harvest losses of farmers.


This was announced yesterday by Agriculture Secretary Arthur Yap during a farmers’ forum at the 20th National Rice Research and Development (R&D) conference held in Muñoz, Nueva Ecija.


Yap said the drying facilities would be  put up in 37 key rice-producing provinces which account for 82 percent of the country’s total production.
