Joceline Buan (Municipal Agriculturist of Porac, Pampanga), the recipients of the ginger seedlings, Ms. Christine Joy Corpuz, HVCDP Region 3 report officer, and HVCDP PMO staff who facilitated the event.

A total of 100 pcs of high-quality and disease-free ginger seedlings were distributed to local farmers. This initiative aims to enhance ginger production in the Philippines by improving yields to reduce import reliance.

This pilot ginger seedlings distribution in Pampanga is expected to serve as a model for strategic seed distribution, revitalizing agriculture in the municipality in close coordination with the local government unit, farmer groups and private sector partners.
