DA to push seed industry program

THE Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI) will develop the National Seed Industry Development Program to improve the country's farm production.

"The main purpose of this undertaking is to provide swift action and immediate relief for both farmers and consumers as the country grapples with converging prices. This new program presents logical and useful steps in our continuing and various efforts to ensure national food security to Filipinos," Agriculture Senior Undersecretary Domingo Panganiban said.
