Crop insurance MOA inked
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE
Negros Oriental farmers can now look forward to have their rice and corn fields, including high value crops, livestock and farm equipment and machineries insured with the Philippine Crop Insurance Corporation.
This was after the PCIC, represented by president Jovy Bernabe, and the provincial government, headed by Gov. Roel Degamo, signed a memorandum of agreement yesterday, to ensure that the harvest and equipment of the farmers will be insured.
Negros Oriental has about 244,613 farmers listed in the Registry System for Basic Sector in Agriculture during the 2012 census.
