Duterte dreams of corruption-free Agri DepartmentOne of the big changes that President Rodrigo Duterte wants to implement today is to make the Department of Agriculture corruption-free, at least, during his term of office. For the high-value crops such as coconut, banana, rubber, pineapple and many more, processing, value-adding and aggressive global marketing will be the keywords. The president said he also supports the DA’s efforts to involve urban communities and businesses in sustained vegetable production in the urban areas. Jake is now managing a farm that is engaged in poultry, piggery, dairy and production of various crops. The same is true with Allied Botanical Corporation which is adding more and more species to its sunflower varieties.
