Victorias Farmers Receives 100 Native Chickens From Department Of Agriculture Region 6

                            By Samson Garzon, Victorias City Agriculturist

Victorias City Mayor Francis Frederick Palanca has turned-over 100 heads of native chicken pullets to 20 upland farmers last March 14.

         The native chicken came from the Department of Agriculture - Regional Field Unit 6 (DA-RFU 6) as their Community Participatory Action Research (CPAR) Project.

            The special guests during the occasion were representatives from DA-RFU 6 Florencio Benedicto and Lorenzo Palada, who also witnessed the simple turn-over ceremony at the Don Alejandro Acuña Yap Quiña Arts and Cultural Center.  

            The recipients of native chicken were farmers from Brgy. X (upper Hacienda Mimi and Sicaba areas) and Brgy. XI (Gawahon and Hacienda Buncio areas). 

         The native chickens will serve as initial stocks for the development of local and organic poultry industry of the City. 

            The project is in consonance with the present administration’s thrust of making Victorias City an organic hub, the producer of naturally-grown and chemical-free products in Northern Negros.
