Farmers in Nueva Ecija are reeling from the loss of their crops because they were preparing to harvest their crops when typhoon ‘Santi’ made landfall in Aurora province. Officials said 108,721 metric tons of palay harvest was lost. A recent survey showed that more than half of the 165,000 hectares damaged by Santi were ready for harvest.

About 19,000 hectares from a total of 195,000 hectares of rice lands were harvested just before the storm hit.
