Philippines: Farmers urged to grow cassava
He says the company needs 50,000 tons of cassava annually and is willing to provide assistance and training in cultivation and soil conservation.
Galura said that farmers would be able to take advantage of a new cassava drying machine in the area, especially as now it is the rainy season and the dryer can be used in all weather conditions.
The dryer was bought by Agapito Pongos of the Early Seven Marketing Group of Companies for his cassava crops, but it is also open for use by other farmers, he said.
