Aritao, Nueva Vizcaya – The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) has strengthened the livelihood of Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries (ARBs) in Aritao by awarding P1.8 million worth of Farm Machineries and Equipment (FMEs) and farm inputs to the Aritao Irrigators Multi-Purpose Cooperative (AIMPC) under the Climate Resilient Farm Productivity Support (CRFPS) project.

The FMEs included a P1.5 million 4-wheel drive tractor and P313,500 worth of essential farm inputs. These are expected to boost productivity, improve yields and help local ARBs adapt to climate change.

“This initiative equips our ARBs with the tools they need to thrive despite climate challenges,” said Provincial Agrarian Reform Program Officer (PARPO) David B. Villanueva, Jr. “It’s an investment in their productivity, resilience, and future.”

Known for promoting best farming practices, AIMPC is considered a model Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries Organization (ARBO) in the region. The support is expected to further elevate its role in sustainable agriculture and community development.

AIMPC Manager George R. Tucay expressed gratitude for the assistance, calling it a game-changer for their cooperative. “The new FMEs and inputs will greatly boost our productivity and improve the lives of our members. We are truly grateful to DAR for this support.”

DAR is also committed to providing continuous training and technical support to ensure the effective use of the FMEs and inputs.

With ongoing collaboration, the project promises a brighter future for ARBs in Aritao through increased farm productivity and sustainable rural development. (By: Pinky Roque with contributions from DAR Nueva Vizcaya)
