Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala last weekend led the launch of the province-wide stakeholders forum in Cavite.
The forum is aimed at enhancing the socio-economic status of less fortunate residents in Cavite.
Gov. Junvic Remulla said Alcala's visit coincided with the nationwide observance of May as "Farmers and Fisherfolk's Month" themed "Sapat na Pagkain, Sama-sama nating Kamtin!"
Remulla said the event, at the provincial gymnasium on May 18, was attended by more than 1,000 farmers, fisherfolk, livestock raisers, municipal and city agriculturists, agricultural officers, agricultural technicians, and other stakeholders.
He said the forum gave Secretary Alcala the chance to visit diverse agricultural projects in the province and know personally the different issues and concerns of the agricultural stakeholders.
Remulla said before the forum, Secretary Alcala visited the Dairy Processing Center and Pig City (JE Farm) in General Trias and the Upland Green Farm and Café Amadeo in the Municipality of Amadeo, dubbed as the top coffee producing town of the Philippines.
The provincial governor said he and Alcala discussed lengthily issues and concerns in agriculture, and the DA chief vowed to strengthen the agricultural programs and services in the province.
