The sugarcane-rice cropping system (SRCS) project of the Negros Occidental provincial government has reaped its first harvest in the pilot site located in Barangay Aranda, Hinigaran town.

Rice crops, planted alongside sugarcane in the block farm of Hacienda Bagacay Workers CARPer Beneficiaries Association, were harvested on Tuesday three months after these were planted in June, during the launching of the project with the Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA).
