Palawan — Palawan glows with agricultural momentum as the Department of Agriculture moves to connect ube farmers in Brooke's Point to expanding commercial markets and major regional trading hubs, including Cagayan de Oro. Dedicated agricultural extension officers, local farming cooperatives, and institutional buyers unite across the province to elevate purple yam production and secure fair trade prices. This wonderful rural development milestone highlights the island's booming agricultural sector, empowered farming communities, and bright prosperous future.
Strengthening Market Linkages For Local Yam Producers

This cooperative framework strengthens Palawan's agricultural economy and secures sustainable income for rural families.
Celebrating Agricultural Triumphs And Bright Farming Horizons
