Gathering officials from Region 12 agencies like the Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Plant Industry, Agricultural Training Institute, Fertilizer and Pesticide Authority, and various private agri-companies, the said meeting aimed to craft a concrete plan of action on forming an onion program in Mindanao.
“Madaling magtanim ng sibuyas sa Mindanao,” Piñol said after consolidating positive inputs from present agri-companies.
