In its bid to further boost the agro-tourism project of upland communities in Floridablanca, the Pampanga provincial government and the Department of Agriculture (DA) are set to distribute thousands of mango and banana seedlings for planting in three barangays of the municipality.
This was learned from Roy Imperial, agriculture consultant of the Pampanga provincial government, as he said that Governor Lilia G. Pineda and DA officials will lead the distribution of 4,000 mango and banana plant seedlings tomorrow.
The seedlings, according to Imperial, will be planted in barangays Nabuclod, Camachile and Mawacat, all in Floridablanca in line with the agro-tourism project of the provincial government.
He said that the governor is very much appreciative of the support and commitment of the agriculture department headed by Secretary Proceso Alcala and Director Andrew Villacorta in Central Luzon to intensify the development of agriculture in the province.
Imperial said that the DA has an on-going tramline project in Floridablanca which aims to help improve the agricultural production in the upland communities and help improve the economy of its indigenous-people residents.
The provincial government has been mobilizing various agencies of the government to fully develop the area as an ideal eco-tourism destination. (Erlinda T. Yutuc, Pampanga PIO)
