New road in World Bank agriculture program links Davao del Sur fruit producers to markets

Officials led by Malalag Municipal Mayor Peter Paul T. Valentin, Provincial Project Engineer Gina Chua, Pitu Brgy. Captain Yolando Amboc grace the turnover ceremony for the new road that has boosted the hopes of fruit-producing areas in Davao del Sur.

In a turnover ceremony on June 19 in Malalag, Marc Adrian Baddongon, head of the I-Build component of DA-PRDP Regional Project Coordination Office XI, said the success of the project “is a result of the collective effort and active collaboration.” “With this subproject, we are expecting an increased trading activity of farm products in the communities as it will reduce the travel time from 26 minutes to 16 minutes per trip. We are also expecting an increased income among farmers as it will reduce the hauling cost of commodities and inputs from P40 to P30 per sack, and transport losses from an average of four percent to one percent,” Gonzaga said.
