In support to La Union farmers in this time of pandemic, the Provincial Government of La Union (PGLU), through the Office of Provincial Agriculturist (OPAG), distributes farm equipment on August 27-28, 2020 at OPAG Provincial Grounds, City of San Fernando, La Union.
Headed by Col. Ramon F. Laudencia, Provincial Agriculturist, they distributed farm machinery, tools and equipment to recipient farmer’s organization, barangays and cooperatives. A total of 197 recipients benefited in the distribution which included 15 units of 7hp water pump; 42 units of 5hp water pump; 225 units of knapsack sprayer; 100 units of hose 1”; 100 units of hose 1.5”; 20 units of multi-cultivator; 100 units of 2” hose; and 21 pcs of corn planter.
This is a project from La Union Resolution No. 705-2019 approving the program of shares from the FY 2016 Collections of Excise Tax on Locally Manufactured Virginia-Type Cigarettes under RA7171 Agri-Production Support.
The PGLU believes in the contributions of farmers in creating a #StrongerLaUnion. Together, we can build a province worth living in.
