QUEZON CITY, Feb. 9 — The government should come up with a comprehensive and integrated approach to improve the country’s irrigation systems.
Raul Montemayor, national manager of the Federation of Free Farmers, stressed this during the virtual launch of the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) book titled “Revitalizing Philippine Irrigation: A Systems and Governance Assessment for the 21st Century” held recently.
Montemayor noted other interventions to consider in designing an irrigation system, such as extension services, access to technology, access to seeds, marketing assistance, and crop insurance.
