Tagum City Mayor Rey T. Uy spearheaded the distribution of fertilizer sacks to local farmers on Monday, September 8. Accompanied by Councilor Wes Caasi, chairperson of the Sangguniang Panlungsod Committee on Agriculture, the officials handed over the agricultural aid to four farmers’ groups from Barangays Pagsabangan and Cuambogan.

The city government reported that the support, amounting to over 500,000 pesos, was provided through the Rice & Corn Production Support Program managed by the City Agriculture Office (CAGRO). This initiative aims to assist farmers in increasing the yield of their farmlands.

"This program is designed to help our farmers enhance their crop production," the city government emphasized, highlighting its commitment to strengthen agricultural productivity within the community.
