The newly constructed Candaba Solar Irrigation Project is now ready for turnover to its beneficiaries following the strict testing and scrutiny made by the Agricultural Machinery Testing and Evaluation (AMTEC) – the country’s premiere and reference testing center of agricultural and fisheries machinery. Because of this, the Regional Field Office 3 of the Department of Agriculture (DA-RFU-3) says the newly constructed Candaba Solar Irrigation Project is now ready for use. The DA, under the helm of Secretary William D. Dar, continuous to pursue a development framework under its “New Thinking for Agriculture” agenda, which is built around eight paradigms designed to increase productivity and profitability of farmers and fishers through sustainable, globally-competitive and climate-resilient technologies and practices.
