Excerpt

The Department of Agriculture (DA), through the Mindanao Rural Development Program (MRDP), assisted a group of seaweed farming and a processing project. The DA said the Bato Seaweeds Association, INc. (Baseas) is the recipient of the 6.2 million assistance, which is expected to increase farmers' income. This town is known as a major producer of seaweeds in the Davao Region, and the community is also a source of livelihood of at least 372 small fishermen.
