KIDAPAWAN CITY - Hundreds of farmers in North Cotabato are bracing for longer dry spell as
the cost of damaged crops continue to rise in the province, agriculture official
today said.
To
date, the dry spell has already destroyed about P230-million worth of
agricultural crops such as rice, corn, banana and rubber, North Cotabato’s major
products.
Dr.
Eliseo Mangliwan, North Cotabato provincial agriculturist, if the dry spell
continues until next month, more crops will be damaged.
