The Department of Agrarian Reform announced on Wednesday that it has recently distributed livelihood support to agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs) in Camarines Sur under the agency’s Sustainable Livelihood Support for Disaster Affected Areas (SLSDAA).
Chief Agrarian Reform Program Officer Rodel C. Martirez, along with other DAR Provincial Office staff, led the simple turnover ceremony at the coastal barangay of San Ramon.
Two egg-layering machines were given to farmer-members of the San Ramon Farmers and Fisherfolks Association (SRFFA) in San Ramon, Siruma, Camarines Sur last January 7, 2021.
The egg-layering machines came with 96 heads of egg-layering chickens, 13 sacks of feeds and medicines for the chickens.
“The project is a great help to the ARBs in barangay San Ramon of Siruma, Camarines Sur because the eggs sold in their area came from the nearby municipalities of Tinambac and Calabanga, Camarines Sur,” said Martirez.
“With this egg-layering machines they can now supply eggs to the people here,” Martirez added.
The SRFAA received hand tractors and rice threshers from SLSDAA on August 20 last year.
SRFFA President Danilo Alcala said that all members of the organization are now benefitting from the livelihood support extended by DAR.
