NFA: Construction of P93-B post-harvest facilities on track
The Philippine Star
|September 30, 2024
The National Food Authority is on track in the implementation of the P93-billion infrastructure modernization program, which aims to build modern post-harvest facilities in the next few years, according to NFA administrator Larry Lacson.
"Once completed, these infrastructure will not only provide modern facilities, more importantly it will save our farmers 10 billion a year because of rice wastage (due to lack of post-harvest facilities)," Lacson said.
He said the first phase of the project will be bid out before the year ends.
"The P93-billion project is a multi-year program. This year, we have P5 billion; next year, we have P5.3 billion, so hopefully, before 2028 ends, all the needed funding will be provided," Lacson said in an interview with The STAR.
