Kaning free agricultural insurance nga gihatag namo kay nakatabang jud pag-ayo unya ako lang
mong i-encourage nga unta dili ta muurong sa pagpalambo sa gihatag sa atoa nga puhunan.
Padayun gihapon ta’s pananom…Daghang salamat,” Capuno said.
The initiative of PCIC, in collaboration with CAgSO, offers chances to the Danao City farmers to combat hunger and poverty due to agricultural losses in crops and livestock, as this “crop insurance” accelerates development.
In “Crop Insurance,” the investment and expenses of the farmers are returned if they are hit by
storms, floods, and droughts, as well as diseases, pests, or damage to the crops.
Danao City is a component city located in northern Cebu, /rcg
