DA 11 regional executive director Abel James Monteagudo said on Tuesday that DA 11 is now exploring areas in Davao del Norte, Davao Oriental, Davao de Oro, and Davao del Sur for onion production. “In the case of the regional field office 11, we have areas in Davao del Sur that have been producing sibuyas. It’s not the sibuyas na malalaki but they are producing. Just a matter of giving them support and necessary interventions,” Monteagudo said during the Agribiz media forum at SM Lanang Premier.
“My predecessor directors as instructed by the previous two secretaries, specially Secretary Piñol, in 2017 na dapat maghanap ng mga areas for sibuyas production. All regional field offices were given directives to look for production areas. Some regions really were able to identify and some came out failing due to climate adaptability, etc,” he said.
