PUERTO PRINCESA CITY, Palawan – The regional field office of the Department of Agriculture (DA) conducted here Tuesday an investment forum on current market trends in the production of cacao and cashew, hoping to expand and develop their production in Palawan.
Randy Pernia, senior agriculturist of the DA-Agri Marketing Assistance Division in Mimaropa, said in an interview that one of their agency’s current focuses is to further develop the local cacao and the cashew industry since Palawan produces a large quantity of these crops.
“This is part of the DA’s drive to develop the tree crops, and in this forum, there are various government and non-government agencies that can help the cashew and cacao industries. We have the Department of Trade (DTI), which can help us expand them,” he said.
