The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) provided a PHP1.8 million delivery truck to a farmers’ group in Surallah, South Cotabato on Tuesday to enhance their agricultural trading operations.

The Little Baguio Small Water Impounding and Diversified Farmers Association received the vehicle through DAR’s Agrarian Reform Fund program. Provincial agrarian reform officer Valerie Seiton led the turnover ceremony in Barangay Little Baguio.

“This is a symbol of hope and progress,” association president Randy Cabaya said in an interview Wednesday.

Cabaya said the truck will help the 50-member group transport rice and palay to markets across South Cotabato province.

DAR-12 Director Mariannie Lauban-Baunto urged proper maintenance of the vehicle to ensure long-term benefits.

The assistance falls under the agency’s Major Crop-Based Block Farming initiative to support agrarian reform beneficiaries. (PNA)
