DIADI, Nueva Vizcaya — Farmers in Barangay Namamparan are expected to improve harvests with the turnover of the P20-million Namamparan-Bungol Communal Irrigation Project, completed by the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) and the National Irrigation Administration (NIA).
The system covers 23 hectares of farmland, directly benefitting 23 agrarian reform beneficiaries under the P’na Dur-as Agrarian Reform Community. It includes a diversion dam, lined canals, turnout structures, and access roads.
DAR Regional Director Primo C. Lara said the project supports the 9-Point Agenda of DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III and highlights inter-agency collaboration to boost farm productivity.
Farmers welcomed the development, with Irrigators Association President Aladin Tucay saying the facility will improve yields, strengthen food security, and raise incomes in Nueva Vizcaya and Cagayan Valley.
