DA intervenes on frozen veggies

The Department of Agriculture (DA) is now rolling out proactive intervention programs to prevent possible losses to upland vegetables affected by frosts in Northern Luzon.

In a report submitted to Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala, the DA Regional Field Office in the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) said that several areas in the country’s vegetable bowl is already bearing the brunt of colder weather conditions, which may result to massive damage to crops if left un-addressed.
