The Department of Agriculture (DA) has cleared the proposed P727-million Baloganon-Sitio Coto, Taltal farm-to-market road in Zambales, according to a report by Philstar Biz. The project aims to improve transportation and reduce post-harvest losses for farmers in the area.
The farm-to-market road will connect Baloganon and Sitio Coto in the municipality of Taltal, providing better access to markets and essential services. The DA's approval marks a significant step in infrastructure development for the agricultural sector in Zambales, which heavily relies on efficient logistics for its produce.
The project is expected to benefit thousands of farmers and residents in the region, enhancing economic activity and food security. The DA's commitment to funding such infrastructure projects underscores the government's priority to support rural communities and agricultural productivity.
