₱40 B dagdag-budget, para sa agrikultura

ni Eli San Miguel - Trainee @News | October 16, 2023




Sinabi ng National Irrigation Administration (NIA) noong Lunes na ang karagdagang P40 bilyon na inilagay ng mga mambabatas sa badyet ng ahensya para sa taong 2024 ay makakapagbigay pa ng irigasyon sa karagdagang 57,000 ektarya ng lupang sakahan.


Ayon kay NIA Administrator Eduardo Guillen, inaasahan na ang mga palayan na ito ay makakapagdagdag pa ng 570,000 metriko toneladang palay bawat taon.


"And if computed conservatively at P19 per kilo, it can generate P10.83 billion per year, with a payback period of four years or less,” ani Guillen sa isang press release.


Ipinagkaloob ng House of Representatives ang karagdagang P40 bilyon sa NIA matapos na mabawasan ng Department of Budget and Management ang kanilang unang hiningi na P132 bilyon na badyet para sa taong 2024, na ibinaba na lamang sa P40 bilyon.


Pinasalamatan ni Guillen ang House of Representatives sa pagbabalik ng kanilang badyet.


“This significant sum of P40 billion will also play a crucial role in addressing both climate change and sustainability concerns. Solar-powered pump irrigation systems will revolutionize our nation’s irrigation coverage, reaching previously inaccessible areas while mitigating the impending effects of climate patterns like El Niño,” dagdag ni Guillen.
