Inaasahang maaaprubahan ang second additional financing (AF2) loan ng Department of Agriculture (DA) sa World Bank, kung saan nagkakahalagang $280 million o P14 billion ang ilalaang pondo para sa Philippine Rural Development Project (PRDP).
Ayon pa kay DA Secretary William Dar, "We look forward to more enable communities and expanded opportunities under the new normal with the approval of the AF2-EU."
Dagdag nito, “The loan will finance agriculture enterprise and rural infrastructure subprojects under the PRDP as part of the second tranche of the $450-million funding from the World Bank approved by the Investment Coordination Committee (ICC) in 2016.”
Ang proyektong PRDP ay aabutin ng 6 years, kung saan layunin nitong mapaunlad ang makabagong sistema sa agrikultura at pangingisda.
"We must continue to improve our services and processes as the world is ever-changing, and as we gradually move towards a new way of living. It is also our responsibility to keep up with the times and offer innovative solutions on how to provide for a modern, climate-smart, and market-oriented agri-fishery sector," sabi pa ni Dar.
Matatandaan namang mahigit 1,091 proyekto ang isinagawa ng DA mula sa 78 na probinsiya, kung saan halos 766,200 households ang nag-benefit nitong nakaraang Abril.
