DA: Private sector supports farm mechanization program

The Department of Agriculture (DA) said on Friday it is pleased with the private sector’s response to the government’s farm mechanization program as the use of farm machineries has steadily increased throughout the country.

Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala said the private sector has been very supportive of the farm mechanization program that the DA has initiated since the start of President Benigno Aquino 3rd’s administration, as gauged from the proliferation of newer and cheaper farm technologies in the country.
