Negros Occidental recorded the highest rice yield at 4.01 metric tons per hectare in Western Visayas in 2023 to remain the second top-performing rice producer in the region. Governor Eugenio Jose Lacson cited this accomplishment under agriculture and food security during his State of the Province Address delivered before the Provincial Board, led by Vice Governor Jeffrey Ferrer, and the department and office heads at the Capitol Social Hall Tuesday afternoon.
Meanwhile, the province has allocated PHP5 million to 38 seed growers as part of the “BinhisaProbinsya,” a program that aims to make quality seeds available to rice farmers. 'We achieved a total remitted sales income of PHP1.3 million from our provincial farms and nurseries, generating PHP642,336 from commercial rice seed production,' Lacson said.
