FARMERS of a sorghum pilot farm in Mlang, Cotabato made their first harvest on August 24, 2020, five months after they were given seeds donated by an agribusiness firm in the United States.

Scott Seeds Company, a Texas-based seed production company, donated some 11,200 kilograms of sorghum seeds in the first quarter of 2020. The seeds arrived at the Davao Port on February 11, 2020.
