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.
